>I see many of you have installed VFP8 beta on Win98 machines. I'm trying to do the same and setup keeps throwing me out because it can't install SOAP toolkit. How are you guys installing this? Thanks

I had the Soap Toolkit (3) and I think even 2 directly from MS
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsoap/html/soap_faq.asp

and it went through like a charm. the only thing I had to do after the install on a WIN98-machine
was to copy gdiplus.dll from c:\program files\shared files .... to C:\windows\system in order
to make VFP8 find it at startup
