Hi Naoto.

>Hrm... I vaguely recall that there was an old problem that caused the MS-Office installer to be triggered each time a VFP application tried to use certain OCX controls -- it involved several different factors (IIRC one factor was if the old VFP-based setup builder in VFP6 was used).

I think you mean this one: http://doughennig.blogspot.ca/2007/11/fixing-reinstall-your-app-problem.html
