I found this post and it did the trick

...I was finally successful installing VFP9. It appears the problem is the

setup.exe on the root of the cd or in the setup.ini. I copied to a folder

on my computer but that yielded the same negative results. I then looked

into the setup.ini which indicated 2 separate setup files in 2 other

directories (wcu and setup) that needed to run. I ran these files manually,

right clicking on each and selecting "Run as Administrator" which finally

resulted in the install. It appears to be a problem with the installer used

for the VFP9 distribution, at least on the disk that I have.

Subject: cannot get past prerequisites in vfp9 install

I having a problem installing vfp9 on my laptop with windows 7 pro.

I start the install, it declairs that it has to add prerequisites files and

then comes back and says it has to add again.

Is there any way around this.
