IVF -> DVF

I know this isn't a good place to ask this question, but I'm not sure
where is.

I have been using IVF for a while, but for a couple of reasons that are
not important I've decided to go back to DVF 6.6. I removed IVF and
reinstalled DVF, but now something seems screwed up in the registry. I
can run the compiler as administrator, but when I try to compile as me I
get "Error spawning df.exe.".

Has anyone run into this problem (and solved it)?

Same problem for me happend but don't know why,

Solved by running the Per User Setup from the start menu. ("C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\DF98\BIN\REGUSER.EXE")

i did a google search and came up with
============================

When compiling from Developer Studio, I get a message "error spawning
df.exe" 18-Nov-1998

This generally affects Windows NT users who are running from an account
different from the one used to install VF. In V6, select
Start..Programs..Visual Fortran 6..Per-User Setup (as described in the
Getting Started manual). In V5, download and run the REGUSER tool.

i also found this one

The "Error spawning DF.EXE" message means that Developer Studio was unable
to run the compiler. There are many possible reasons for this, from not
running Per-User Setup, to deleting the COMSPEC environment variable, to a
corrupted registry. If your system becomes unresponsive after this error,
that is very unusual and suggests a problem with your system or software.

The first thing I'd try is to run Per-User Setup. Then if that doesn't work,
reinstall CVF. If you need help after that, write vf-support@compaq.com and
include ALL the information requested in BUGREPRT.TXT, which you'll find in
the DF98 folder. Don't leave anything out - we get many of these with blanks
where the critical info should have been. If you have VF Reporter installed,
use that instead.

hope this helps.

Thanks Andrew and Ian. The fix is simple - one just uses one of those
menu items that one never gives a second glance:
Start > Programs > CVF 6 > Per-User Setup.

So much to learn, so little time :-)
