SYMPTOMSWhen you are trying to install FoxPro to a Novell server where the workstation is using Virtual Loadable Module (VLM) version 1.10, or NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) version 3.12, an error message (see the listing below) will occur during the installation process, and you won't be able to complete the installation. This error will occur even after any virus- protection software is disabled. Different error messages will appear, depending on which Novell server you are installing to. This behavior occurs with the single-user installation and the administrative setup (SETUP /A).

If you change this line to READ ONLY COMPATIBILITY=OFF, FoxPro for Windows will install correctly. One of the following error messages will occur:
Cannot change properties of the file named: <path>\FOXPROW.EXE <<Retry>> <<Cancel>> -or- Could not open the file named: <path>\FOXPROW.EXE <<Retry>> <<Cancel>> -or- Cannot change properties of <path>\SETUP.INIWhen you are trying to cancel the installation, you may receive this error message:
