Problem while installing foxpro 9

Hello,

When I run setup.exe for Visual FoxPro 9.0, welcome screen is displayed with two links activated; prerequisites and Visual FoxPro. When I click either on these, setup program hangs and nothing happens.

This issue is valid also for Visual FoxPro 8.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you logged on as Admin? What is your OS? How long do you wait until you think setup hangs? Are you running SETUP off the original CD? DId you try to install on a different box to isolate the problem?

In addition to Eric's excellent questions and suggestion, I would also check to see if maybe some other software you are running is causing the problem. Most likely culprit would be an overly aggressive virus scanner that has real time protection. If none of Eric's suggestions work, then try shutting off your virus scanner for the period of the install and also end as many other processes on the computer that are running as possible, then retry the install.

I am using XP SP2 installed on a new HP notebook. I am logged in as administrator. I am using the original CD and it worked fine on my two desktops with XP.

I also thought about a blocking virus scanner so closed all firewalls and scanners.

I waited for almost half an hour and no action has been taken by the setup application.
