/Update/
Resolution identified by Chen Chuanbing:
Re-register VFP9 / VFPA using /regserver, which resolves the issue.
It's unclear what caused the registry glitch- maybe aggressive use of regedit when a WW app would not work in COM mode? - but now resolved.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
