Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 Prerequisites
Visual FoxPro
requires certain versions of system components to be installed prior to
installing client components.
·
Setup Runtime Files
·
Microsoft Data Access Components v2.7
·
Windows Installer 2.0
·
Microsoft SOAP Toolkit 3.0
If individual components hang during
installation, setup may be unable to detect this. Use CTRL+ALT+DELETE to
manually shutdown the setup.exe task. Note,
installation of larger components can take as long as 20 minutes on slower
machines or when installed over a network.
You must
install system component updates before proceeding with Visual FoxPro
setup. If the installer reports failures for a component at the end
of setup, you can run the individual setup for the failed
component to see the specific errors and diagnose problems. The
location of the components on the Visual FoxPro CD is as
follows within the WCU folder:
|
Component |
Location on Visual FoxPro CD (within
WCU folder) |
|
Setup Runtime Files |
bootstrap.msi |
|
Microsoft Data Access Components v2.7 |
MDAC27\mdac_typ.exe |
|
Microsoft SOAP Toolkit 3.0 |
SOAP3\soapsdk.msi |
|
Windows Installer 2.0 |
windowsinstaller\winnt\instmsiw.exe |
If setup
continues to report failures, even though the individual setups succeed, you
can bypass the system component updates. Please note however, this is only
advised if all required components are installed. Visual FoxPro will not
function properly without these components.

In the Run dialog box, type the following: n:\Setup\Setup.exe /NO_BSLN_CHECK For example: D:\Setup\Setup.exe /NO_BSLN_CHECK |
Uninstalling
Visual FoxPro does not uninstall components installed by Prerequisites setup.
For components that offer individual uninstall, use the Add/Remove Programs
in the Control Panel.
