Although turning off "Secure Boot" didn't solve your problem, I'd like
to discuss "Secure Boot", and it's potential to make mischief for VFP
and other software and OS(s) a little further.
The problem I had with Virtualbox running in Fedora was not starting
Vbox, but rather starting the guest Window 7 OS. Evidentially the Secure
CPU, or other "Secure Boot" software or hardware failed to start the
guest Window 7 OS; because, it saw it as an unsigned threat.
Resent versions of Fedora and Redhat Linux run fine with EUIF enabled,
but at a cost:

Several reboots later, still no joy.
Downloaded the VFP7 runtime from Cristof's site, as I thought it might let
me slip in the runtime package I needed. Nope.
Downloaded vRunFox from Leafe.com and it starts okay, so the runtime dlls
install fine and run without further voodoo.
Open to ideas.

One of the Associates picked up a shiny new machine, Dell Precision M6700,
with all the bells and whistles: i7-3740QM CPU, 16 Gb Ram, dual 1TB-RAID1
HDDs. massive 17" screen. Yikes.
Went through the usual infinite MS updates (117 of them, followed by 6 or 8
more, a couple of reboots) and got around to installing VFP7 ( we use
several versions). Installed the pre-requisites okay, but went to install
VFP7 and got the error message,
Internal Error 2356. msinet.msm
User has administrator rights. Will retry the install with "Run as
administrator" - re-ran "Windows Compnent Upgrade" and then the VFP
install with the same error.
Googling the error didn't yield any relevant results.
Suggestions?
