That was my first inclination too. I deleted all of the foxuser files as well as any remaining temp files that may be hanging around to no avail. When that failed, I repaired the VFP8 installation to no avail. Then I re ran the SP1 install still to no avail. I guess I am going to have to completely uninstall it and start over. I noticed something though today. I ran my spykiller software and when it started it initiated the vfp8 install... interesting.
