The _browser variable is a VFP variable pointing to the Class Browser. If you are using VFP Advanced, the Windows file virtualization is turned off. By default this will attempt to access and write a file in the Program Files directory. This will only work if you are running VFP in administrative mode.
If you are using VFP 9 SP 2, the browser.dbf will be virtualized and all should still work.

Knowing nothing about CABuilder:
I would just trace variables _browser and lcClassList in the source codes and hopefully something could be found .... it looked like it's trying to bring up the web browser? Or was _browser a form? Well.... :)

I posted before about the CABuilder tool asking for the original disk then failing to find anything. I traced the code and found the last line "Do (_browser) with
(lcClassList)"
was causing the error and commenting this line allowed the code to
complete
correctly. I have no idea what dependencies this needs and why it would fail.
