SYMPTOMS
When running the Setup Wizard in Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, the following error is received shortly after clicking the Finish button:

Error #202 in makestf(0): Invalid path of file name.



CAUSE
The Application Name, as specified in Step 4 - Setup Options of the Setup Wizard, is 22 or more characters in length.

This error can also be received with an Application Name less than 22 characters if one of the characters in the Application Name is a colon or a backslash (\). The Macintosh System and FoxPro use these two characters for specifying folder paths.



WORKAROUND
Make sure the Application Name specified in Step 4 - Setup Options of the Visual FoxPro for Macintosh Setup Wizard is less than 22 characters and it does not contain any colons or backslashes (\). Spaces are allowed in the Application Name and no other characters are known to cause problems.



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