This article was previously published under Q313921



SYMPTOMS
You cannot obtain the product ID from the Help About dialog box or from Visual FoxPro (VFP) language functions.



CAUSE
The Spanish version of Visual FoxPro 7.0 does not write the product ID into the Windows registry. The setup routine that installs the Spanish version sets the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\7.0\Registration\ProductID value to &quot;&quot;.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

316964 How to Obtain the Latest Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0 Service Pack



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0. This problem was first corrected in Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0 Service Pack 1.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Install the Spanish version of VFP 7.0 on any operating system. The operating system can be any language version.
 * 2) From the System menu, click Help, and then click About Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Note that the Product ID field is blank.

Because the registry key mentioned in the &quot;Cause&quot; section contains &quot;&quot;, SYS(9) and VERSION(1) return nothing.
