Ah, I notice that someone (probably you) has updated the foxwiki page
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFP9RuntimeFiles. It now makes clear that the runtimes can also be installed in the APP folder.
I have added this comment:
This was true for prior versions and it STILL is true for VFP9: You DON'T have to register the runtime DLLs as long as you put them in the same directory where your application is installed.
And this also implies that Rick Borup's way of dealing with MSVCR71.DLL is not necessary if that file too is installed in the same directory where your application is installed.Let's hope that it helps improve setups.

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
