SYMPTOMS
Trying to execute a file from a shared resource on server with X-permission ONLY, and using expanded memory, on an MS-DOS workstation causes this error:

Cannot execute : for MS-DOS version 5.0

Access Denied" : for MS-DOS version 6.0



CAUSE
This is caused when EMM386.SYS (or .EXE) with the RAM option tries to run a file from a LAN Manager 2.2 MS-DOS workstation that uses expanded memory.



WORKAROUND
If you change the RAM option to NOEMS, this error does not occur.

Or, turn off the use of expanded memory with the option "LIM=NO" in the [workstation] section of LANMAN.INI. The EMM386 driver then works fine with options RAM and NOEMS.

Another solution is to add a (R)ead permission to the share drive: if the share drive has both (R)ead and e(X)ecute permissions, no error occurs.
