Running this on the server hangs up IIS 4.0, and I eventually have to reboot the server to set things straight again. I must be missing something obvious. Microsoft Knowledgebase article Q168053 says I can do this. I even tried their example, and it did the same thing.

I have had a problem before with servers when they try to create the foxuser.dbf file. If you are able to debug this, you would find that it gives the message "Convert foxuser to latest version?" or something like that. Anyway what I did was put a valid foxuser file in the NT system32 directory and that fixed the problem.
