MORE INFORMATION
When you run the Setup Wizard and place a comma in the "Setup dialog box caption" text box, the Setup Wizard continues and builds the disk images. However, when you run the Setup routine and select OK in the "Change Folder" window, the error occurs.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) From the Tools menu, point to Wizards and then choose Setup. In the Microsoft Visual FoxPro dialog box, click Locate Directory and then in step 1 select a folder that has an .exe or .app file.
 * 2) Make any selection in step 2 and then, in step 3, point to the folder in which you want the distribution disks created.
 * 3) In step 4, type "Mysetup, Files" (without the quotes) in the "Setup dialog box caption" text box and type anything in the Copyright information text box.
 * 4) Click Finish twice to create the setup disks.
 * 5) Go to the destination folder and run the Setup.exe file in the Disk 1 folder.
 * 6) Continue through the setup routine by selecting the Continue and OK buttons, and note that the error occurs.
 * 7) Run the Setup Wizard again, taking the comma out of the "Setup dialog box caption" text box, and note that the distribution installation completes successfully.
