After you click the Finish button in the Visual FoxPro for Macintosh Setup
Wizard, a WAIT WINDOW appears with the message "Copying the source code
files..." followed by the following error message:
The Setup Wizard was unable to make a copy of your source files.
Setup terminated.
A copy of the source files is not made.
This error may occur because the Finder Scripting Extension is not loaded
or the Power PC Modern Memory Manager is not ON.
Load the Finder Scripting Extension. If you are using System 7.5, it might
be disabled in the Extensions Manager Control Panel. If you are using
System 7.1.2, obtain a copy of the Finder Scripting Extension from a System
7.5 install or download it from Apple's Web site.
This behavior is by design.
The Setup Wizard uses AppleScript to tell the Finder to make a copy of the
source code files. If the Finder Scripting Extension is not loaded, the
Setup Wizard cannot communicate this to the Finder.
The Finder Scripting Extension is installed with the System 7.5 versions of
the Macintosh System Software. It is not supplied or installed with System
7.1.2. Therefore, the Visual FoxPro Setup Wizard does not run under System
7.1.2 unless you place the Finder Scripting Extension in the
System:Extensions folder.
For Visual FoxPro users who are still running System 7.1.2, you can
download the Finder Scripting Extension from the Apple Web site. You should
use version 1.2 of the Finder Scripting Extension. Apple included version
1.1 of the Finder Scripting Extension with AppleScript 1.1.
You can find the Finder Scripting Extension in the following location on
the Apple Web site. This information is subject to change, however. Apple
recommends you not bookmark the page.

Software Updates Archive from the next page. From the Apple Software
Updates page choose US, then Macintosh, then System, and then Other System.
NOTE: This error may also be caused by running a product called "Mac User's
Hide Always." "Hide Always" can hide the finder. You can either disable
"Hide Always" or prevent it from hiding the finder.
