SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Electronic Forms Designer (E-form) on a Microsoft Windows 95 computer, you may get the following error message after you run SETUP.EXE:

Error could not execute C:\WINDOWS\CMDKINST.EXE 2



CAUSE
This error can occur if the E-forms Setup disk has been updated to a newer version and the CMDKINST.EXE file is not present in the Windows directory.



RESOLUTION
NOTE: The file sizes and dates for Electronic Forms Designer Setup files on Disk 1 are: SETUP.EXE        15,360       9/20/93      12:59pm USERINST.EX_     37,205      10/13/93       5:58pm You can use one of the following workarounds when you get the above error message:   Get the newest version of the updated Setup files, version 1.03 from Product Support Services.

File sizes and dates for latest updated Setup files:    SETUP.EXE            15,360        4/24/95        3:24pm VER.DL_              9,696        11/1/93        5:11am CMDKINST.EXE        71,240        4/27/95        8:23pm CMDKINST.EX_        31,231        4/27/95        8:23pm  Use the expand command and expand a new version from the E-forms Setup disk that you are using. This can be done because the setup files (version 1.01) does not expand the CMDKINST.EX_ correctly; however, you can correctly manually expand the file yourself. The following syntax is required for a manual expand:

expand a:\cmdkinst.ex_ c:\ \cmdinst.exe

 Rename the C:\\CMDKINST.EX to C\\CMDKINST.EXE and restart the E-forms Setup program.
