PRB: Installing C 6.0 Header Files from CD-ROM Windows SDK

ID Number: Q83994

WINDOWS

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

When installing the C version 6.0 run-time libraries and header

files from the CD-ROM (compact disk read-only memory) distribution

of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) version

3.1, five header files (LOCKING.H, STAT.H, TIMEB.H, TYPES.H, and

UTIME.H) are not installed.

CAUSE

In the INSTALL.BAT batch file, when the XCOPY utility is called to

copy the run-time libraries and header files, the /s option switch

is omitted. Consequently, the INCLUDE\SYS subdirectory containing

the five header files listed above is not installed.

RESOLUTION

After using the INSTALL.BAT file to install the C 6.0 run-time

libraries and header files from the Windows SDK 3.1 CD-ROM, perform

the following two steps to manually copy the five missing files:

1. In the INCLUDE directory, create a SYS subdirectory (by default,

this new directory is C:\WINDEV\INCLUDE\SYS).

2. Use the MS-DOS COPY or XCOPY utility to copy LOCKING.H, STAT.H,

TIMEB.H, TYPES.H and UTIME.H from the CD-ROM into the

INCLUDE\SYS directory.

More Information:

This problem occurs only when installing the C 6.0 run-time libraries

and header files from the Windows SDK 3.1 CD-ROM. When the libraries

and header files are installed from floppy disks, all header files are

copied correctly.
