Man,

Thanks for the reply. I like the "Superman" reference. Yes, admin privileges in place. I tried registering vfp6r.dll with regsvr32.exe successfully, but could not register vfprenu.dll, it returned an error. Also tried registering the program exe with /regserver successfully, but application would still not run.

Any more suggestions, pulling what's left of my hair out.

Joe

Man,

You helped me!!! I checked the security, and although there were admin privileges. So I turned off the UAC (User Account Control), re-installed the program, and it worked.

Thanks so much!

Joe
Another thing to make sure of with Vista is that you don't install under the program files folder. If you do, my experience is that anything other lower than VFP9 will require being run as administrator (even if your logged on as admin you need to set the shortcut to run with admin privileges or right click on it and select that option. If you just move the install to somewhere directly off c: (create your own folder off the root) then in my experience it should work even with user access control, which you can't necessarily count on the user disabling.
