Installation

This guide covers system requirements, the step-by-step installation process and license activation for FoxCore.

System requirements

Installation process

1. Download the installer

Download FoxCore_Setup.exe from your customer portal under Downloads after purchase. A trial version is available at /downloads/trial.

2. Run as Administrator

Right-click the installer and select "Run as Administrator". This is required to register COM components in the Windows registry and configure system paths.

3. Follow the wizard

The installation wizard will ask you to select the VFP version you use (9 SP2, 10.0, 10.1 or 10.2) and the installation path. FoxCore will install the correct DLLs based on your selection.

4. Place the license file

Download your FoxCore.lic file from the customer portal (Licenses section) and place it in your application folder or in the path configured with SetLicensePath().

License activation

1. Download your FoxCore.lic file from the customer portal.
2. Copy the file to the root folder of your VFP application (next to the EXE or main PRG).
3. Optionally use loCore.SetLicensePath(lcPath) to specify an alternative path.
4. FoxCore automatically locates and activates the license on startup.

5. Verify the installation

Open VFP, create a FoxCoreClass instance and check the version to confirm everything works correctly.

Verification from VFP

Run the following in the VFP command window:

LOCAL loCore
loCore = CREATEOBJECT("FoxCore.FoxCoreClass")
&& Should print version to debug output
? loCore.Version

If the instance is created without error, FoxCore is correctly installed and registered.
