Summary:
In rare cases, certain hardware configurations may not work properly
with the SETUP.EXE utility shipped with Microsoft Visual Basic
programming system version 1.0 for Windows.
As an alternative installation method for Visual Basic 1.0, you can
use the application note titled "Visual Basic 1.0 Setup by Batch File"
(BV0446). To obtain application notes, call Microsoft Product Support
Services at (206) 454-2030. Please specify whether you want a 3.5-inch
(720K) or 5.25-inch (1.2 MB) disk (no other disk format is available).
More Information:
Microsoft can only distribute this application note to registered
owners of Visual Basic because it contains uncompressed copies of
Visual Basic's Icon Library files. Thus, this application note is not
available on online electronic services; it is only available directly
from Microsoft.
This application note includes the following files and subdirectories
on disk:
README.NOW VBSETUP.BAT VBSETUP1.BAT DECOMP.EXE
VBSETUP.BAT must be run from DOS and from the drive in which you
inserted the disk. For example, typing the following from the drive C
DOS prompt won't work:
a:vbsetup
Instead, you must make drive A (or the drive in which you inserted the
disk) the active drive before running VBSETUP.BAT. For example, type
"A:" (without the quotation marks) at the drive C DOS prompt and then
type "VBSETUP" at the drive A DOS prompt.
Note: When you run VBSETUP as shown above (with no arguments), further
usage instructions will be displayed on the screen.
The Icon Library shipped with Visual Basic is contained on the
enclosed disk in uncompressed format, and will be copied to your
destination directory by VBSETUP. This disk (and the included Icon
Library) may only be distributed to registered owners of Microsoft
Visual Basic. VBSETUP.BAT will only work with 5.25-inch 1.2 MB disks,
or with 3.5-inch 720K disks. VBSETUP.BAT will not work with 5.25-inch
360K disks.
