VFP9 install SP1

[esilva75]

Hello,
Machine at work was upgraded from VFP7 to VFP9 by IT admins through application called "Radia" (manages install and removal of all pc application on network. Eliminates the need for someone to come to your pc with cd)

Have local admin and tried installing SP1 and get a popup window stating:
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of program. yada, yada, yada....... ok button.

Now, i know that there's a registry key missing somewhere that was not installed by Radia to allow the intaller to identify the fact that VFP9 is installed on my machine. My question is, does anyone know what that key is so that i can add it in manually?

Before anyone recommends asking my IT (help desk)department to deal with the issue.... well let's just say i don't have much confidence in them and would like to resolve the issue myself.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

There are a few different ones, here are the ones that are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive on my machine (under user hive it is mostly just preference settings so I doubt that is being checked, but I could be wrong)...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Registration]
"UserName"="Craig Boyd"
"PIDKey"="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
"ProductID"="99999-999-9999999-99999"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Setup]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Setup\VFP]
"ProductDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Setup\Visual FoxPro 9.0 Professional - English]
