SYMPTOMS
Disk images created by the Setup Wizard do not fit on floppy disks. The total file size is a few hundred or thousand bytes over what a floppy disk can hold. This behavior occurs randomly.



CAUSE
At times, the Setup Wizard underestimates the actual size of the files it is creating because part of the file is still in memory. The actual size of the files is therefore bigger than the size the Setup Wizard estimates.



WORKAROUND
By disabling disk caching, you can prevent the Setup Wizard from miscalculating the total size of the files. To disable caching, comment the lines in your system files that load caching software.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.
