Somewhere hiding in the registry, some GUID is incorrectly
associated with the VFP install. How that can happen is a mystery
that only a Microsoft engineer can explain.
Well I have an explanation--but I'm sure everyone here will laugh.
GUID-generation is based on the notion that it is "highly unlikely"
or "extremely improbable" that two generation processes will get the
same result. But it is NOT mathematically impossible.
Yes, it's highly unlikely that if you flip a coin 10 times the first
9 times you will get "heads". But it happens nonetheless, sometimes.
So maybe once in a while the cold hard reality that high
improbability <> impossibility bites somebody.
