I had the same problem and called Microsoft. After running some of their programs to test what was going on with my system they told me that some WIN2k SP4 hotfix had a conflict. They sent me a private version of their SOAP installation kit and it installed properly. They told me that once the problem is reported and fixed for several other users they will post a KB entry with this fix. In the meantime if you are still having this problem I would call microsoft. It seems that for problems like these, they don't even ask you for the serial #, so they don't deduct it from your calls allowed.

>>>I just received the upgrade of VFP 8 Pro. I am trying to install the thing and got 2 of the three compnents installed, but the soapkit 3 will not install, hence I cannot proceed. Then when I tried to bypass and install VFP8, it worked but I get that a file is missing or something.

>It will not let me uninstall it, you try uninstall the components or VFP8 (the forced install) through add-remove and it uses the same installer which won't proceed. I installed the one on the microsoft site (even though I don't like using their site) and it installed soap 3 redist ok, but when I run VFP8 I still get the error:
