QuickC 1.00 Needs to Write to Libraries 3 Disk During Setup PSS ID Number: Q41200 Article last modified on 01-23-1992 PSS database name: S_QuickC

1.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

When the setup batch file for QuickC Version 1.00 tries to build Quick libraries, it needs to write a temporary file in the directory from which it was called. If the floppy drive is the default drive at the time setup is started, the setup batch file tries to write the temporary file to the floppy drive. This behavior can present a problem if the disk has write-protect tabs. This occurs after the building of the main run-time libraries.

The error message below occurs if setup is called from write-protected floppies. This error message is not fatal. Remove the write-protect tab from the disk in the drive, re-insert the disk, and press “R” to Retry. Setup should then continue.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 1.00. This problem was corrected in Version 1.01.
