I have created a windows service for a client (two versions: .net 1.1 and .net 2.0) that launches a program called Loader. Loader makes sure there is an updated copy of a file called updater on the computer. Updater will download files, one of which is the Loader, to make sure their clients have the latest updates to their software.
The Loader and Updater programs are written in Foxpro.
Both versions of the service work fine, they both launch the Loader program. The client recently started compiling their programs in Foxpro 9 and now the Loader will not launch the Updater program. This only happens if the Loader is run by the service, if it is run manually, they work fine. Does anyone have insight as to why this might be happening? If they recompile in Foxpro 8, everything seems to work fine.

Have you studied the list of changes made for Foxpro 9? You are more likely to get more help in a forum in which Foxpro is the defined subject, but even then, you need to be more specific. You are more likely to get help if you describe what you have already done to diagnose the problem yourself.
Have you tested the Loader program to see if it works if it is executed directly instead of by the service? That is the type of diagnostics that people should do. Something else that you must do when asking for help with a problem such as this is to specify what account is used for these.
