Are you saying, that using RegEdit you can see "VisualFoxpro.Runtime.8" key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive but oReg.IsKey("VisualFoxpro.Runtime.8") returns .F.? Did you try to check any other key existince on that PC? Maybe it's registry coruption or insufficient user rights to access registry?
BTW, VFP runtime doesn't require to be registered if it located somehwere on the Windows search path.
