WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

The Microsoft Setup program that comes with Bob automatically adds the location of your Bob directory, usually MSBOB, to the path statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This can cause the Bob directory to be listed more that once in your path statement.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Microsoft Setup does not check if the directory already exists in the path statement. The potential duplication does not occur in Maintenance Setup mode.

Generally, duplications in the path statement cause problems only if you have modified your path statement to check directories in a certain order, or if your path statement is near the 127 character size limit.
