Maybe you are missing a setting?
If this does not help, get the REGMON and FILEMON from Microsoft - google for "sysinternals"
and use them to see what file/reg setting the setup.exe is looking for and not finding.
AFAIK I had VFP7 and upgraded to VFP8 - I was given the full CD of VFP8 and did a clean install from that although this was supposed to be an upgrade. The only condition was I could not use both 7 & 8, only either.
When I went to 9 I received a DVD and again did a clean install. No upgrade, just a full clean install. As you can see from the REG settings, I refused to accept the horrible default path with spaces that causes so many problems
- c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Foxppro\ blah blah blah ... etc was not for me.
I just installed it in c:\vfp. Short and sweet.
Why don't you try to do a clean install of VFP9 into the c:\vfp9 directory. Then try the Sp2 update. Do not install SP1 if you are going to sp2
The path is VFP9 -> Sp1
or
VFP9 -> Sp2
Not VFP9 -> SP1 -> Sp2. This has been tried and has failed.
Also there is a patch for SP2 to fix some problems, two of which I reported.
