>>>I am successfully running both VFP 7 SP1 and VFP 9 SP2 on my "old" XP machine. I now have a new machine running Vista. I installed VFP 9 successfully successfully on the new machine from my original VFP disk, but my VFP 7 disk doesn't work (read errors) any more.

When all else fails. Try copying an existing folder of the vfp 7.0. And install the runtime from various place on the web at have the runtime as setup files. It is my belief that as long as you are using only one of the copies at a time you are cool with the licensing agreement.
