Foxweb not detecting Apache / path to VFP.EXE blank

[The_Eggman]

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have searched for a few hours, but I cannot figure out either what I'm forgetting, or why FoxWeb insists on trying to force usage of IIS.

I am setting up a new machine for the first time in over a year. It's a Windows 7 Ultimate machine and it's replacing my older server, which is also running Windows 7 (I think that one is Win7Pro). The new machine has Visual FoxPro 9.0, Visual C++ 2015 installed, and Apache 2.4.46 from Apache Lounge, installed and running as a service. When I try to install FoxWeb, part way in, it informs me that my IIS is not setup, and I should do that before proceeding. There is an Ignore button and that does complete the install, but the Configuration page where the path to VFP.EXE is located is always blank, and it's (never) editable.

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on?

Update: As often happens, even after hours of searching, I found the problem with the path the VFP.exe. Simply uncheck the "Use run-time DLL". My Google-foo must have improved in the last half hour. It does seem to work now, even with the IIS "error" during installation.
