SYMPTOMS
When an attempt is made to build or debug an application from the Visual Workbench, a dialog box with the following message may appear:

Start-up directory not found

Check the application's PIF



CAUSE
The entry for the startup directory in the WINTEE.PIF is always \F32\BIN even if the product was installed in another directory. This causes an error when an application is built, if the Visual Workbench is started with /v option to make WINTEE.EXE visible.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Run the Windows PIF Editor.
 * 2) Open the file \F32\BIN\WINTEE.PIF.
 * 3) Correct the startup directory (it will probably show the default directory).
 * 4) Save changes in the PIF Editor.
 * 5) Compiling should work fine now (there is no need to restart Windows or the Visual Workbench).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation versions 1.0 and 1.0a for MS-DOS.

This is not a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation 32.



MORE INFORMATION
The /v option when invoking the Visual Workbench makes WINTEE MS-DOS box visible.
