Susan,
I'd SWAG that the problem has to do with two factors. Factor one is that that the setup program is a 16 bit one. Factor two would be that prior to Win95 OSR2, there was no API function capable of handling drives greater than 2 gig. Even today, VFP 6.0's DISKSPACE() and SYS(2020) are unreliable in determining the correct amount of diskspace (either total or available) when that amount exceeds 2 gig (they do not access the function GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() which was introduced in Win95 OSR 2).
The Visual Studio Installer may be able to address this problem.
