This article was previously published under Q140577



SYMPTOMS
After you install a Laptop (Minimum) installation of Visual FoxPro 3.0 on a computer running Windows 95, Visual FoxPro isn't listed as one of the registered applications for Uninstall.



CAUSE
Laptop installations don't install the Setup Utility.



WORKAROUND
If you want the Install/Uninstall option, run Visual FoxPro setup again:


 * 1) Run Setup.exe from floppy disk 1 or from the compact disc.
 * 2) Select custom installation, and clear the selection from all options.
 * 3) Choose Microsoft Tools from the list, and click Change Options.
 * 4) From the list of options, choose Microsoft Visual FoxPro Setup, and click OK.
 * 5) Click Continue, and proceed with the installation.



STATUS
This behavior is by design. A minimal installation will install only components that are needed to run the application. The Setup icon does not affect Visual FoxPro, so it is not installed.
