I reinstalled it several times, myself, before I got the solution in an article published here on the UT KB. It seems that installing some MS Office components may remove the VFP/OCX license entry in the registry. In my case, (I believe) it was MSWord 97.
Anyway, I saved that portion of the registry in a .reg file so I can merge it. Who knows...?

>>>I can't get the Rich Text Box to work in VFP 5.0a. The OCX, RICHTX32.OCX, comes with VFP. I've uninstalled VFP, unregistered the ocx (regsvr32 /u richtx32.ocx), deleted the ocx from my c:\windows\system\ directory, and then reinstalled VFP 5.0 (complete install). When I try to drop the Rich Text Box on a form, it tells me:
>>>
>>>"OLE error code 0x80040112: Appropriate license for this class not found."
>>>
>>>I get this error with several of the ActiveX controls that come with VFP also (Microsoft RichText Control version 5.0, Grid Control, Outline Control, all the Threed controls...), but some of them work fine (Microsoft Sysinfo Control version 5.0, Calendar Control...)

>>>Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you resolve it? Any suggestions? I'm about to format my hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch. :)
