Summary:
When installing the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.00 with
options for OS/2 protected mode only, a file creation error may occur.
More Information:
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Run the MASM 6.00 setup program, SETUP.EXE.
2. Select the "Install the Microsoft Macro Assembler" option.
3. Select "OS/2 Protected Mode".
After the setup program prompts you to insert the MS-DOS Utilities
disk, the following error message appears:
An error occurred while creating the file ....\BIN\MLX.EXE
If you then select "Ignore the error and continue", the installation
will continue successfully.
With the 720K 3.5-inch disks, the error occurs after copying H2INC.EXE
from the MS-DOS Utilities disk.
With the 1.2-megabyte 5.25-inch disks, the error occurs as soon
as SETUP.EXE begins copying files from the MS-DOS Utilities disk. The
360K 5.25-inch disks are only used to install for DOS real mode, so
the problem is not observed with these disks.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM version 6.00. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
