If you're adding using an installer, you could right-click on installer and select "Run as administrator"

The other workaround would involve installing VFP in a different directory tree rather than the standard "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" (i.e. don't install in the default folder, and override the folder when installing).

There's also a way by changing the security in the "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86) folders -- thought I wouldn't recommend such a "fix" due to the risks.

Rather than mucking with access to "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)", perhaps you could change the permissions to the folder where VFP is installed and grant full access rights to all users?
