SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to run a Setup.exe created by the Visual FoxPro 5.0 Setup Wizard, the following error occurs:

Setup error 280 Object 

Your Setup files may be damaged.

Try restarting the Setup program.



CAUSE
The error is due to a file with a long file name that is large enough to require splitting. This may occur on a file size of 725 K or larger. However, smaller files may also cause problems.



RESOLUTION
You can rename the file to a conventional 8 character name or obtain an updated Setup Wizard.

There is an updated version of the Setup Wizard that corrects this problem.

To obtain the updated version of the Setup Wizard, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

162004 PATCH: Setwiz5.exe the Updated VFP 5.0 for Windows Setup Wizard



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Place a 1 MB file with a long file name in a distribution directory.
 * 2) Run the Setup Wizard against that directory, and select none of the check boxes in Step 2. Select the Netsetup option.
 * 3) Go to the Netsetup directory and run Setup.exe. The error may occur immediately or later in the Setup process.
