An update on this problem:
Latest attempt to install failed with the same message "The application
has failed to start because MSVCR70.DLL was not found. Re-installing the
application may fix this problem."
Searching for information, I looked at
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~InnoScripts which says the following:
------------------------------------
As noted in the VFP9 Runtime Files topic, placing MSVCR71.DLL is the
app's directory is correct for running the app, but the registration of
VFP9R.DLL requires MSVCR71.DLL to be present somewhere Windows can find
it during installation. Two acceptable places are the Windows system
folder or the common files folder where VFP9R.DLL is located. You can
configure Inno Setup to remove the temporary copy of MSVCR71.DLL when
installation finishes by using the deleteafterinstall flag. According to
the Inno Setup Help file, the deleteafterinstall flag will not remove
existing files that were not replaced during installation, so if a copy
of MSVCR71.DLL is already present for use by some other app, it should
remain there after installation.
To place a temporary copy of MSVCR71.DLL in the system folder, use this
entry:
Source: C:\VFP9Distrib\System32\msvcr71.dll; DestDir: {sys};
Flags: onlyifdoesntexist deleteafterinstall
To place a temporary copy of MSVCR71.DLL in the common files folder, use
this entry:
Source: C:\VFP9Distrib\System32\msvcr71.dll; DestDir: {cf}\Microsoft
Shared\VFP;
Flags: onlyifdoesntexist deleteafterinstall
Regardless of which temporary location you choose, you should still
install a permanent copy of MSVCR71.DLL to the {app} directory. - Rick

-------------------------------
I've made this change, targetting the {CF} folder in the way described
(delete the {CF} copy after install, leaving a copy in product's
folder), but doesn't installing into {CF} require ADMIN? If so, how can
the install be setup to avoid requiring ADMIN rights?
