We are running Compaq Fortran 6.5 in our NT computer labs. When the students try to use it many receive an error about being unable to run df.exe. I looked this up on the compaq site and it tells me I need to download a utility called DVF-X86-REGUSER.exe and have each student run it before running the Fortran compiler. Needless to say I tried this and it doesn't work. It gives the error: Could not find/modify the Visual Fortran registry keys. The keys may not be present or could not be accessed because of security attributes.
Is there a fix for this fix?
Alternately, what are the keys it is changing and to what values?

We'd appreciate it if you'd use vf-support@compaq.com for questions like this, especially as we've been working with you on the Education Donation program.
Did you install Visual Fortran on the student PCs? This is required.
