>>>I see by the Source lines for the VFP runtime libraries there is a reference to "c:\Program Files" folder -- which indicates to me that you've got a 32-bit version of Windows. If you switch to a 64-bit edition of Windows you'll have to change the "c:\Program Files" to "c:\Program Files (x64)" -- in that case you might want to consider making copy of the runtime files into a different folder, then change references to that folder. That's what I've done at work because there is currently a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit systems used (I have not yet migrated the entire development team to 64-bit Win7) and I didn't want to have to change the setup scripts each time I was building an install set.

>Thanks for the correction -- sometimes it's confusing when sometimes you've got the "x86" or "32" suffix/prefix and other times you're referring to "64" such as in the SysWow64 folder (instead of System32)... One wonders if by the time 128-bit version of Windows comes around, are we going to have a System64 folder or a SysWow128 folder for 64-bit components? IIRC back when the transition from 16-bit to 32-bit occurred, we went from System folder to System32. The flip-flop bit kind'a reminds me of the "sense" of the write-protect on floppy diskette -- 8" floppies you cut a notch to write-protect and cover it to write-enable, 5.25" mini-floppies you cover the notch to write-protect and uncover the notch to write-enable, 3" micro-floppies you move slider to open the hole to write-protect and move slider to cover hole to write-enable. IIRC the 5.25" mini-floppy is sort of the "odd man out" as it's the one that doesn't follow the convention typically used on tape casette/cartridge where you break off a tab to write-protect.

Hmmm, floppy diskettes... sounds vaguely familiar ;)
