Note: Applications created with dBASE PLUS 2.6, b1899, contain additional information about the application that is not recognized by older versions of the dBASE PLUS runtime engine. As a result, new applications created with dBASE PLUS 2.6 or later will not run with prior versions of the runtime engine. However, the new dBASE PLUS 2.6 runtime engine can recognize and run applications created with earlier versions of dBASE PLUS, so they will run without having to be recompiled and rebuilt. This allows the application developer to deploy the new runtime engine without having to update all of the dBASE PLUS applications at the same time. Once the new runtime engine is in place, the older applications can be updated as needed to take advantage of dBASE PLUS 2.6 enhancements and to distribute the developer's updated products.

For existing installations where the runtime engine and the current BDE already exist, the following three files are the minimum required to update the runtime engine to the latest version:

• plusrun.exe (the runtime engine)
• plusr_en.dll (the runtime engine resource DLL, English)
• plusrun.exe.manifest (enables the Windows XP styles)

These are runtime-only installs, intended for Web Servers, or any machine where you need to run dBASE PLUS runtime applications and the dBASE PLUS full product is not installed. It is meant for high-volume upgrades and distribution to ISPs. It may also be incorporated into an Inno Setup deployment for a dBASE PLUS application you wish to distribute. It includes only the runtime Virtual Machine and Database Engine for dBASE PLUS. For normal installs, use the dBASE PLUS Full Product Upgrade.

Scope: All the core product bug fixes.

Requirements: No previous version required.
When installing to a machine where the dBASE PLUS Runtime Engine is already installed, the target folder defaults to the current RuntimeEngine install location.

Compatibility: Should be 100% compatible with existing dBASE object code and executables.

To Download: Note that the PLUSrun.exe file (and the BDE) in all six versions of the download files are identical. The difference is that each language-specific install contains just the language resources for the one language as indicated. (The separation is to reduce download size.)

To Install: Download the file of your choice from the above.
If your Browser has not started the upgrade automatically, double-click on the .exe file you downloaded and follow the instructions to install.

Folders:
Web Server Installation: Any folder may be used for the dBASE PLUS Runtime Engine files. Your runtime application will find the dBASE PLUS Runtime Engine via the Windows Registry.

Network Server Installation. To make this available for users on a network to upgrade their runtime engines, simply copy the file to a folder on your server that is accessible by your users.
