Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

This message is indicating that your Windows 10 machine is missing the required components or dependencies to install Visual FoxPro 9. You need to run the Windows Component Update setup to install the missing components before you can install Visual FoxPro 9. This is likely due to the fact that Visual FoxPro 9 was released in 2004, and newer versions of Windows may not include all of the components required to run it.

Visual FoxPro 9 requires several components, including:

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 runtime libraries

Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.6

Microsoft Windows Installer 2.0

The problem is that Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 runtime libraries, MDAC 2.6, and Windows Installer 2.0 are no longer available for download from the Microsoft website. These components are quite old and are not compatible with the latest versions of Windows, so they are no longer officially supported by Microsoft.

if you have the original installation media for Visual FoxPro 9, you may be able to find these components on that disk. If not, you may need to consider using a different development environment or upgrading to a newer version of Visual FoxPro.

Regards.
