What I am saying that I CANNOT find ("VisualFoxpro.Runtime.8") with Regedit, yet VFP8 runs.
However, I guees you did answer my question:
"BTW, VFP runtime doesn't require to be registered if it located somehwere on the Windows search path."

So probably its located somewhere in the search path, but not registered. (I get some ole errors).
