{| = PRB: Installation Error: Cannot Create \FOXPRO.EXE =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q95370

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS
When you are installing FoxPro version 2.5 for MS-DOS, some files are copied to the disk and then one of the following error messages is displayed:

Cannot create FOXPRO.EXE

-or-

Cannot create FOXPROX.EXE

CAUSE
One possible cause is that FOXPRO.EXE or FOXPROX.EXE already exists in that directory and it is marked read-only.

RESOLUTION
For the Setup program to be able to perform a successful install, the .EXE file must be either renamed or marked as read/write. The command ATTRIB -R \FOXPRO.EXE will remove the Read-Only attribute from the file.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
