BUG: INSTALL /N Adds a Semicolon (;) to Beginning of PATHID: Q111523 The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf the PATH environment variable in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file already contains the Administrative Installation directory, the Network Installation (INSTALL /N) adds an extra semicolon (;) to the beginning of the PATH statement. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b for MS-DOS. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Reproduce Problem
Note that the path statement contains an extra semicolon before the first path name. In this example, the PATH statement will look like one of the following: PATH ;C:\FOX;C:\DOS;N:\ADMIN -or- SET PATH = ;C:\FOX;C:\DOS;N:\ADMIN Additional reference words: FoxDos 2.50 2.50a 2.50b buglist2.50 buglist2.50a buglist2.50b KBCategory: kbsetup kbnetwork kbbuglist KBSubcategory: |
