Introduction

This Application Note contains a corrected version of the SetupWizard for the Microsoft FoxPro Distribution Kit for Windows. This version of the SetupWizard corrects the following two problems:

- If the SetupWizard has to split a file, it does not properly handle files with names that have seven letters, such as Product.exe, or  names that have seven or fewer characters but end in a number, such as Fox25.exe. The corrected version of the SetupWizard properly handles these files.

- The SetupWizard allows the disk images to be written to the directory where the program files are stored, if that is the destination directory you specified. To make distribution easier, the corrected version of the SetupWizard checks for the program files in the destination directory. If it finds them, the SetupWizard generates the error message &quot;The source and destination directories must be different&quot; and asks you to select another directory.

To install the corrected version of Setup.app -

1. Copy the files extracted from Fk0818.exe to your FOXPROW\WIZARD subdirectory.

2. Start Windows and then FoxPro for Windows.

3. From the File menu, choose Open. In the List Files Of Type box, select Project. In the Directory box, select the FOXPROW\WIZARD directory, then in the File Name box, select the Setup.pjx file.

4. In the Setup.pjx dialog box, choose Build. In the Build Option dialog box, select Build Application and Rebuild All, then choose OK. Save changes to the Setup.pjx project when prompted. Additional query words: FoxWin 2.50 appnote softlib setup wizard set up
