>In vfp3 I used to make a dummy setup consisting of one file in order to install the runtime module on machines here. We use Win NT 4. I have just tried to do the same thing now that I have vfp6. It's telling me I need admin priveledges. Why would it need them? What is it doing now that it didn't do before? I'm not aware that the permissions of ordinary users like me have been restricted lately, though I can ask the sysadmin tomorrow.

Users that are not Adminiostrators are not guarenteed access to all registry keys, or to be able to update shared files. You can hack the .STF to bypass this check.
