SYMPTOMS
Visual Studio Service Pack 2 finds and updates two installs of Visual FoxPro version 5.0x even though only one instance of the program exists on the system.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The update routine for the Visual Studio Service Pack 2 finds two instances of Visual FoxPro although only one instance exists on that machine.

This problem occurs even if you have a machine with a new install of Windows 95 or Windows NT and with no other applications installed except for Visual FoxPro v5.0x.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Make sure that there is only one instance of Visual FoxPro 5.0x installed on the computer.
 * 2) Apply Visual Studio Service Pack 2 to your machine.
 * 3) Click Continue at the first dialog box that appears.
 * 4) Select 'I Accept' for the Second and Third dialog boxes.

NOTE: The fourth dialog box lists "Microsoft Visual FoxPro" twice.
 * 1) Run the SP2 setup all the way to the end.
 * 2) Look at the Log file (Vs97sp2.log) created by the Visual Studio Service Pack 2 setup.

NOTE: The same FoxPro files are listed as updated twice.
