SUMMARY
Two separate customers reportedly hung their Leading Edge Model D computers after executing the QuickBasic version 4.50 installation program (SETUP.EXE on the Setup/Microsoft QB Express Disk) under DOS version 3.20. Microsoft could not duplicate this problem using either MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 3.20. The reported problem did not occur when the customers attempted installation with the next version of the operating system, DOS version 3.21, on their Leading Edge Model D computers.



MORE INFORMATION
Please note that the SETUP.EXE program for QuickBasic 4.50 is mostly a file-transferring program. To work around the problem above without upgrading DOS, you can set up QuickBasic by simply copying the files directly from the original distribution disks.

The QB Express program can also be copied and run from a hard disk. To run QB Express, copy all files on the root directory of the Setup/Microsoft QB Express disk. Then type LEARN to start QB Express.
