Seems like needed vfp runtime files are not present in the computer where you try to run. Depending on the VFP version you use, you can donwload them automatically from here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/FoxPro/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=125

Good luck

Before you begin your attempts to download and test several possible versions of support libraries from the above link (code.msdn.microsoft...) you should open the EXE in any text editor and find the "FoxPro" string. It is followed by the Run-time library version necessary for your EXE.

Don't save any changes made in your EXE.
in notepad
VisualFoxProRuntime.6   \Shell\Open\Command DllOleInit  DllWinMain  unregserver regserver   -T  "                                                                             
Then it needs VFP6 SP5 (I hope the SP version is not checked during the startup).
Merge module is a file which you may use to prepare your own installations...

Why didn't you download the VFP6 SP5 from the first link?

BTW, every FoxPro EXE application should be delivered together with its Run-time libraries. You should ask the app vendor for these libraries.

Also, if the EXE is "branded" (e.g. by ReFox) then it needs special Run-time llibraries which are available from app vendor only.
i use window 7 and install visual basic 6.0 pro on it.
and my software vendor is not any file they give me all file.
If the EXE requires Visual FoxPro 6 support library then Visual Basic cannot help.

Visual Basic 6 is different application.

The software from http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/FoxPro/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=125 should be possible to install on Windows 7.

Following files should be installed in the same folder where the EXE is located:
vfp6r.dll
vfp6renu.dll
vfp6t.dll

More info: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFP6RuntimeFiles~VFP
Of, course, Visual FoxPro Run-time DLL libraries can be installed in some System common folder.
