Just thinking about this, and you might take a look at the Environment variables. Lots of use gets made of %system%, %temp%, and the like. My win 8.1 doesn't have any names pointing to C:\Program Files (x86), but that doesn't say nobody ever did that.
If there was a 'VFPpath' variable pointing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Foxpro and it got edited by something that would cause the result you're seeing.
