By the way, when you uninstall Visual Foxpro, are all references or mention of it supposed to disappear from the Windows registry too? I'm working on an NT system and I uninstalled VFP6 but when I search the register via regedit, I still see lots of references to it all over the place in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ... even though the objects they point to no longer exist on disk. I don't like messing around with the registry too much, but as you can tell from what I'm faced with, if I'm going to rebuild this machine, I might as well try cleaning up the registry and try another reinstall.
