SYMPTOMS
When running Setup.exe, which was created with the Visual FoxPro 3.0b Setup Wizard, the default destination drive letter is ignored.



RESOLUTION
This problem is fixed in the Visual FoxPro 5.0 Setup Wizard.

Additionally, an updated version of the Visual FoxPro 5.0 Setup Wizard is available. While the updated Setup Wizard offers no additional functionality regarding this issue, it does correct other potential problems. For more information about this topic, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual FoxPro version 5.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The Setup Wizard that ships with Visual FoxPro 5.0 does not allow you to choose a different drive letter in step 5.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create an .exe file in Visual FoxPro 5.0 and place it in a distribution directory.
 * 2) Run the Setup Wizard selecting defaults until step 5.
 * 3) Place a different drive letter for default destination directory; that is, if the distribution directory was "C:\Test," enter "D:\Test."
 * 4) Run the resulting Setup.exe and note that the default destination still points to C:.
