VFP9 Installation Problem

[chouna]

I just installed VFP9 and I am always being asked for the file VS_SETUP.MSI whenever I run Intellisense Manager. I insert the installation disk and choose the file but I get this error "ERROR 1706. No valid source could be found for product Microsoft Visual Foxpro 9.0 Professional - English. The windows installer cannot continue." I got my copy of VFP9 thru MSDN.

Now the weird thing is that I get the same problem in VFP8 as well and other programs written in VBasic. Why are they asking for this file and will I stop receiving this message if I uninstall VFP9? Fortunately in VFP, it only crops up in Tools module (so far). As for VB, the message seems to be persistent (although CANCEL will bring everything back to normal.) Any idea how do deal with this problem?

Have you tried to burn the VFP9.0 onto a CD and when the message pops up, insert the CD as requested?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the advice. I was able to work things out by uninstalling the entire VFP9. Once I did that, everything went back to normal (VFP8 and VB). I boldly went back to install VFP9 and no glitch whatsoever now. The only difference between the 1st and 2nd installations is the first one was installed from a network computer. I cannot get the system to recognize the file even if I do a new BROWSE and direct it anew. The location/path seems to be persistent. The 2nd installation was done locally and I did not encounter any problem at all.

Thank you again.
