Can’t Delete LMPRINT.QPR If LAN Manager Is Abnormally Removed ID Number: Q63640

2.00 OS/2

Summary:

If you abnormally remove OS/2 LAN Manager, you cannot easily delete the .QPR file. Abnormal removal implies that you did NOT use the OS/2 LAN Manager Setup program to do a remove, but instead deleted the entries from your CONFIG.SYS file, and then deleted the directory.

Difficulties deleting the LMPRINT.QPR file are caused by the OS/2 LAN Manager installer, which has modified the OS2.INI file to point to this file. You can use any of the following options to work around this problem:


 * 1) Install OS/2 LAN Manager into a different subdirectory or drive, and THEN delete the old LMPRINT.QPR file.
 * 2) Boot the OS/2 install disk. When the banner appears, press the ESC key to get to an OS/2 prompt. You now can remove the file.
 * 3) If the LMPRINT.QPR file is on a FAT partition and the partition size is legal for your version of MS-DOS, boot MS-DOS and delete the file.
 * 4) Reinstall OS/2 (not recommended).
 * 5) Run the OS/2 MAKEINI program to reset OS2.INI to the default installed screen groups. The symptom of this problem is that the OS/2 LAN Manager installer will not work when reinstalled in the same drive and directory. The program informs the user that it cannot copy the LMPRINT.QPR file.
