Hi Timothy,
I haven't done it with those specific files, but, yes that's exactly what I believe it should do. I've done what you are asking with similar exes that I downloaded from other sites.
The best thing is to download it (then scan it for viruses) and try it out.

>>I'm not sure what you mean when you say "...avail any setup distrib disk". AFAIK, there are executable files there that will install the VFP7 or VFP8 runtimes. They are not part of a setup per say. You simply download them and run them on a PC that needs the VFP runtime. I suppose you can somehow call them from an "official setup" utility too.
