There's nothing specifically stopping VFP6 working in Windows 10 as far as I know. Definitely no 'kill switch'. It sounds more permission-related. There may be something intrinsic in Codemine but I doubt it has anything blocking a specific OS either. Try running VFP6 as administrator.
MDAC won't install on anything later than Server 2003\XP I think.
Personally I would spin up a VM with Windows XP in it and develop on that for VFP6.
