Building a FoxPro COM server with a missing Interface definition

Posted by: Rick Strahls WebLog, on 12 Jun 2006 | View original

I ran into a bit of nastiness today when re-compiling Help Builder on this Vista configuration. Help Builder is a FoxPro application and it implements a fair number of COM interfaces from the system including this one:   DEFINE CLASS wwHelp20CompilerMessages AS session OLEPUBLIC    IMPLEMENTS IHxCompError IN HxComp.HxComp   for the Html Help 2.0 compiler. Problem is on this machine the Html Help 2.0 Help Compiler is not installed, so HxComp.HxComp is not a Com object on this machine...
