Allen:
Thanks for the offer, and confirming that's the file I want. Knowing that (and using a Linux "find" instead of the stupid Windows Explorer Search! grr!) I was able to find the file in an obscure little corner of our too-many-terabytes NAS. So I've got the needle on my local network, I just couldn't find it in the haystack.
And of course, not just one copy, but one copy for every workstation I've had since it shipped! :)

Correct!
Those are the *runtime* files, but the main VFP7.exe is still the original (07.00.0000.9262) instead of the SP1 (blah.blah.blah.9465)
Download.com offers VFP70SP1.msp, but I'd prefer a more reliable source.

Hi, folks:
I find myself in the funny position of having to recreate a VFP7 development environment, and having some trouble locating all the pieces. My VFP7 DVD (and serial number!) were in the proper place in the archives, but I wasn't as careful about archiving the SP1 patch nor the matching patches for the installshield MSMs that install updated runtimes.
The MSFT site has a link for VFP7SP1, but it errors out.
Google points out InstallShield updates, but it too 404's.
I do have the vRunFox7 executable, of course (thanks, Ed!) and the runtime installer from dfPUG, so I can cobble something together.
I'm digging through the dusty archives, but if anyone can point our a reliable, non-malware-laced, place to get these online, I'd be grateful.
