SYMPTOMS
After you change the Install Directory during the setup process, an error similar to the following occurs.

On Windows NT:

The instruction at "0x00415900" referenced memory at "0xa6375ebf".

The memory could not be read.

Click on OK to terminate the application.

Click on CANCEL to debug the application.

On Windows 95:

The program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

Pressing the details button reports:

~VCxxxx caused an invalid page fault in module ~VCxxxx.TMP at 0137: 00415900.

NOTE: "xxxx" represents a random number.



CAUSE
The total length of the installation directory exceeded 248 characters.



STATUS
This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The error occurs in a temporary file. Setup.exe copies the [CDROM Drive]\Msdev\Setup.bin file onto your destination drive as a temporary file after which it is erased.
