>I followed the instructions on that message. Everything seemed to be done sucessfully but when I tried to install VFP 7 it keeps coming up with the need for installing the setup runtimes.

Hi Tim,

Try starting the VFP7 setup with the NO_BSLN_CHECK switch as below.

>>>
If Windows Component Update continues to report failures, even though the individual setups succeed, you can bypass Windows Component Update. Please note however, this is only advised if all required components are installed. Visual FoxPro will not function properly without these components.

To bypass Windows Component Update
1. Insert the Visual FoxPro CD.
2. Close any programs triggered by autorun.
3. From the Start menu, click Run.
4. In the Run dialog box, type the following:
n:\Setup\Setup.exe /NO_BSLN_CHECK


For example:
D:\Setup\Setup.exe /NO_BSLN_CHECK
<<<<

This info, along with instructions how to install each piece of the Windows Component Update individually, is contained on the VFP7 CD in the file WCU\help\moreinfo.htm
