title: Microsoft Azure + OleDB + FoxPro
body: <p>I have a solution that talks to a FoxPro database (dbc) table (dbf) via the MS OleDb provider.  Recently we would like to roll this solution out to MS Azure but it says the provider is not installed. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Exception: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider.
    It may not be installed.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Any idea hot to get this installed? The solution runs on my local machine without errors. I've googled this but unable to find anything specific - however I did see articles that indicated OleDb is not supported yet can be installed.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Here is the direct error message i'm getting on the azure website</strong></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The underlying provider failed on Open. The 'VFPOLEDB' provider is not registered on the local machine.</p>
