ADT/ODE: "Setup Error 997" Installing ADT or ODE ApplicationLast reviewed: April 16, 1997Article ID: Q153770 |
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version 7.0 - Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition Tools
SYMPTOMSAdvanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills. When you set up a Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition Tools application or a Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT) application on a computer running Windows NT version 3.51 or 4.0 Workstation or Server, you may receive the following error message:
Setup Error 997. Your setup files may be damaged. Try restarting the setup program.The error message "Setup Error 997" will be followed by one or more references to Object IDs. The number of references and the Object IDs will vary, depending on the application.
CAUSEThe Application Name that you specified in the Setup Wizard exceeds 30 characters (or 50 characters on Windows NT 4.0). Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Server and Workstation have a 30-character limit on the name of a Program Group. Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server and Workstation have a 50-character limit on the name of a Program Group. NOTE: Because the application name is used to create the program group icon, this problem can also occur if a backslash character (\) is used in the application name. NOTE: Using the backslash character (\) in the application name, can also cause this problem to occur in Windows 95.
RESOLUTIONChange the Application Name in the Microsoft Access for Windows 95 ADT Setup Wizard to a string that contains 30 or fewer characters (or 50 or fewer characters on Windows NT 4.0). NOTE: In the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools Setup Wizard, an application name that exceeds 30 characters will not be accepted.
