Hey Ken,

Yes - you're late to this party. But, in this case - you are never too late.

Seems like you are having a similar issue to what was experienced here. I just 
spoke to our systems guy - who fixed the issue on our end. So - here's what he 
did...

He went into Control Panel - and went to where you can do a Repair to VFP - and 
by running the Repair - that fixed the problem. You can probably do the Same 
thing to fix your own issue. 

Goodluck & God Speed!           :-)

Also - TGIF!
-K-

I realize this is a very late response, but I would just like to mention that I 
recently have seen this very thing in two completely different contexts on my 
home computer:

Win 7 SP1 Ultimate 32-bit

1. Whenever I run an audio-editing program called MP3Gain, I get the exact same 
"Installing VFP" windows. I have to click the "CANCEL" 
button on them four or five times to make them go away, and then the program 
will run. If I don't click "CANCEL", I get "Internal Error [some number]", and 
MP3Gain does not run. This occurs both under a restricted local user account, 
and a Domain Administrator account, so it's not permissions-related.

2. In the VFP 9 SP1 IDE, again on my home computer, I recently ran the Code 
References Tool for the the first time. I got the VFP Install window when I 
tried to run it, and after clicking all the cancels, I was able to start a 
search. As soon as I started the search, the VFP Install windows appeared 
again. After canceling them all again, the search completed normally. As in the 
first scenario, if I don't keep hitting cancel, I get "Internal Error [some 
number]" 
and Code References doesn't do what I asked it to do. Also as in the first 
scenario, it doesn't matter what permissions I run VFP under. 
And everything else in the VFP IDE runs fine.

I suspect this is some form of MS Windows Installer corruption, since this is 
occuring in two completely unrelated programs. And I am afraid to mess with 
anything because I don't want to end up having to completely uninstall VFP (and 
that would mean combing the Registry for leftover bits) and reinstall it, and 
MP3Gain, and perhaps downloading and installing a new copy of Windows 
Installer, after all of which I may still end up having to delete and re-create 
my profiles.

But just to let you know. Something systemic is definitely messed up here.
