What Setup Installs

VPM Enterprise Directories

Setup creates a \vpme91 directory on your hard disk with the following subdirectories and copies the VPM Enterprise files to these directories:

Subdirectories	Contents
\Bitmaps	Bitmap files.
\Builders	Project and source code files for VPME form and control builders.
\Data	Database and table files used by VPME.
\Forms	Forms used by VPME.
\Menus \New project	Customizable Developer menu files. Template files for new VPME applications.
\Prgs	Program files used by VPME.
\Reports	Report files used by VPME.
\Vsa	VPME Sample Application

VPM Enterprise Command Line

Setup creates a Command Line to run VPME with the following form:

C:\vpme91\vpm.exe –cvpm.fpw

If you should ever need to manually enter this command line, be sure there’s no space between the “-c” and “vpm.fpw:“. “C:\VPME91” is the normal VPM Enterprise home directory. If you install VPME on a different drive or in a different directory, “C:\vpme91” should reflect the correct drive and directory in which you installed VPME.

VPM.EXE is a starter program that runs Visual FoxPro and loads VPM.APP, the VPM Enterprise application file.

When VPME loads, the FoxPro configuration file is set to SAPPFCNF.FPW located in the VPM Enterprise home directory.

VPM Enterprise Configuration File

The SAPPFCNF.FPW FoxPro configuration file for VPM Enterprise contains:

_STARTUP =
SCREEN = OFF
RESOURCE = 'C:\VPME91\DATA\SAPPFRES'
DEFAULT = 'C:\VPME91'
_GENMENU = 'C:\VPME91\PRGS\GENMENUX.PRG'
_MNXDRV2 = ‘C:\VPME91\PRGS\SSYSIMNU.PRG’

If you install VPME on a different drive or in a different directory, “C:\VPME91” should reflect the correct drive and directory in which you installed VPME.

If you run VPM.APP directly from Visual FoxPro, your FoxPro configuration file must contain the lines shown above.

VPM Enterprise Resource File

Setup installs VPME’s own FoxPro resource file (SAPPFRES.DBF).
