PRB: "CRC Error" Occurs During Setup ID: Q105595 The information in this article applies to: Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 1.02, 2.0, 2.5x Microsoft FoxBASE+ for MS-DOS, version 2.1 SYMPTOMS A "CRC Error" message (MS-DOS extended error 23: "Data Error - (CRC)") occurs during installation of FoxPro or FoxBASE+. CAUSE When reading a disk, MS-DOS performs a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) to verify disk sectors. The CRC is a sophisticated parity check of the data in each sector and will detect most data errors, such as lost or scrambled bits. RESOLUTION To determine if there is a problem with the disks: Attempt the installation a second time. Install on a "clean" (minimal) configuration. Install on another machine to verify there is not a hardware problem. Copy the floppy disks to a temporary directory on the hard disk and run the Setup program from this temporary directory. If the installation still fails, call Microsoft Technical Support for assistance.
