Hi Juan,
Just that I did an NT install using VFP6 and it seemed to go just fine. I used the "Web" setup option - whatever the heck that does :-) and my friend had all this problem on Novell, and as I said solved it by copying the install files to a local temp folder, which is what the setup tries to do anyway.
