Hi Dimitry,

i think you objective is to install Visual Foxpro version 9 on your new computer. for this you can just copy the full dump of VFP installation files either on thumb drive or on your computer hard drive.
Now Install foxpro from the dump. It will not ask for any precious version.

Thank you

Hi Lutz,

If I understand your message correctly, I should copy the DVD to a thumb drive and install from the latter. And I should not be prompted to insert the previous version of VFP. If this is the case, I am ok. I will try it.
Thanks,

>>Hi,
>>
>>I will need to install VFP 9 on a new computer which comes without a CD/DVD drive.
>>1. I can buy an external USB-connected CD/DVD drive and install VFP9
>>2. If I don't choose 1 (above), the other method is to copy all files from the DVD onto a thumb drive on the computer that has a DVD drive. Then install VFP9 from the thumb drive. But from what I remember, during the installation of VFP9 I have to insert a VFP DVD of a previous version. I have those prev versions DVD but nothing to insert them to. What file do I need to copy to a thumb drive from the prev version of the VFP?
>>3. Create an image of my existing VFP9 installation - on the Windows 7 (where I type this message). Then install VFP 9 from the image. Is this possible? If so, how?
