MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Create two new directories on your computer and place at least one file in the first directory (a bitmap or .txt file will do).
Open one of the Visual FoxPro versions listed in the "applies to" section and issue the following from the Command window:
SET FIXED ON
- Use the Setup Wizard to build a setup routine. Specify the first directory created in step 1 as the distribution directory and use the other directory as the disk image directory (steps 1 and 3 of the wizard). Select NETSETUP in step 3 of the wizard.
- Finish the Setup Wizard and exit Visual FoxPro.
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the disk image directory created in step 1.
- Run SETUP.EXE from the NETSETUP directory. Depending upon the version of Visual FoxPro the setup routine was built with, errors like those listed earlier will occur.
