>Maybe not a problem with VFP7 - but it's something that should have been picked up on as a problem, whether VFP7, InstallShield or Windows. Testing that the installation of a product works seems, to me at least, to be something that should be tested on as big a range of systems as possible - and your installation didn't seem to be anything unusual.

No, it doesn't seem that unusual, its wierd that Windows would even let you do that. I don't think that justifies call everyone who upgraded to VFP7 a fool, though.
