This article was previously published under Q141634



SYMPTOMS
While you run setup on a computer that has Microsoft Windows version 3.x (16-bit Windows) installed from image disks created using the Microsoft Visual FoxPro Setup Wizard, the following error appears:

Setup Parse Error in Initialize pass

Object ID 335: CopyFile-like Object: Bad INF Section Data Value.

This is immediately followed by Object ID 336 through 343, and Setup will not complete.



CAUSE
While you step through the Setup Wizard, during 'Step 2 - Optional Components' the ODBC Drivers check box is selected, which allows the user to select from the list of available ODBC Drivers. By default, all of the listed drivers are initially selected. In this case, the 'SQL Server Driver' check box has been cleared, so it is not included. The error is encountered while reading from the Setup16.stf file that is on Disk 1.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

This does not apply to Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0. Ensure that SQL Server Driver is one of selected ODBC Drivers.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Place a single, simple executable file in its own directory.
 * 2) Use the Setup Wizard to create disk images of that directory's contents.
 * 3) In Step 2 of the Setup Wizard, select the ODBC Drivers check box and clear the SQL Server Driver check box in the list of drivers.
 * 4) Complete all the remaining Setup Wizard steps, and create the disk images.
 * 5) Run Setup from Disk 1 on a computer that has Microsoft Windows version 3.x installed.
 * 6) During the process, the "Setup Parse Error in Initialize pass" error will appear. When you click OK on each of the screens that follow from Object ID 335 to 343, setup will not complete.
