Jim:
According to a XLS document--what files are installed with VFP 5.0--that I downloaded from MicroSoft.
CTL3D32.DLL required only for NT 3.51 and is installed whenever VFP or VB runtime is installed I also have experienced this same problem on some machines. So far no problems have been encountered.

>I have created a generic "setup" for both VFP3 and VFP5, doesn't actually install an application but does go through all the process of installing the .dll's and support files onto a system. I created them using the setup wizard in the appropriate version of Fox. This system has work very will over the past several years until now.

It failed, giving a Setup Message stating "Setup could not open the file: 'C:\WINNT\System32\CTL3D32.DLL'. It is in use by another application." with the options of Retry or Cancel. My only useful option is to cancel with an incomplete setup.
