Doesn't matter... it's easy enough to make your own setup stub.
(These instructions were posted last year sometime)

1. create a project say -- vfpsetup6
2. Under code tab programs entry, click on new button.
3. for your main prg file just type a bunch of comments stating that the purpose of this program is just to set up the run time files
4. save the program to say main.prg
5. From the main foxpro menu, select tools-wizards-setup
6. Dialog box saying that \program files\microsoft visual studio\vfp98\distrib
does not exist. Click on create directory button
7. Next dialog is Step 1 - locate files. Click on the button with the ellipsis
and locate the directory folder where you created your project. This folder
will only have three files, main.prg, vfpsetup.pjx, vfpsetup.pjt
8. Step 2 - specify components. Check the boxes of the components you want
installed like Visual Foxpro Runtime
9. Step 3 - Create Disk Image Directory. Check netsetup. Again click on button
with ellipsis symbol and locate where you want your disk images saved.
10.Step 4 - Specify setup options. Put maybe your copyright information.
11.Step 5 - Finish.
12.There should be a folder netsetup under your projects directory which you
can now copy to the CD rom that you are going to distribute.
13.Run setup.exe on each computer where you would like to run your executable.
You only install the run time files once. From then on you can run any VFP
executable.
