The other app installs a slightly different version of the ActiveX control, so Windows Installer thinks the files is corrupted when you run the VFP app, and it tries to be nice and tries to fix the file by reinstalling. Of course, this is a total PITA.

>As Neil pointed out, this problem doesn't occur if you use Inno Setup instead of a Windows Installer-based tools such as InstallShield. In the mean time, the workaround is to find the Registry entry for the ActiveX control and fix its InprocServer32 entry. This is easier said than done, because you don't necessarily know which control to fix; you need to find entries for all the controls your app uses. Here's how you do this:

Thanks helped greatly. I found the problem was with DynaZip and as you mentioned the InProcServer32 was gibberish.
