PRB: Cannot Reinstall a Specific Visual FoxPro Component

CAUSE

Visual FoxPro uses the new Microsoft setup routine found in other Microsoft products. This setup program allows you to install, maintain and remove the different components of Visual FoxPro.To install a component of the product, you need to choose the appropriate check box for that option in the setup dialog box. If setup is run after the product has been installed, the setup routine enters a maintenance mode where the dialog box shows what components are already installed.

To remove a component, clear the check box for the component. To add a component, select the check box for the option leaving the other options alone.

This may confuse some users who want to reinstall only a single item. For example, while trying to reinstall the VFP.EXE, you might think that you need to clear the check boxes for all the other options. But what really happens is that everything but VFP.EXE and the .DLL filess is un-installed. The file VFP.EXE is not even reinstalled.
