Setup Runtime files fails VFP 9.0

Question

When trying to install VFP 9 from the original disk on to a windows 7 64 bit computer (right clicking on setup and saying "run as administrator") -- I am logged in as a user that has all administratve rights.  However, it fails to install the Runtime Files.  When I review the log it says this is the section that fails:

Hi Gotanidea,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

Please try to copy all the install files to the hard disk, and take a look at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822355&Product=vsnet 

This article talks about how to install VS2003, but it seems that them the same issue: cannot find servral files, so please try to create the corresponding folder and moddifies the Setup.ini file like it suggested.

I hope this will be helpful.

Best regards,
