PRB: Win32api.hlp & Autodemo Missing from VFP3 Floppy Version

 Last reviewed: October 21, 1996
Article ID: Q139172
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Neither the Win32api.hlp Help file or the Autodemo program are available on the Visual FoxPro Professional Edition disks. They are available only on the CD-ROM compact disc.

CAUSE

Consistent with other Microsoft products, the CD-ROM compact disc version of Visual FoxPro Professional offers added value to the purchaser in the form of additional programs or files. In this case, the additional files are the Win32api.hlp file and the Autodemo program.

RESOLUTION

To get these additional files, you need to purchase the CD-ROM compact disc version of Visual FoxPro Professional.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The Win32api.hlp file is an online reference that documents the various functions and components of the Win32 API set. As this is only distributed on the compact disc, you will not be offered the choice of installing this file in either a first-time or maintenance mode installation when installing Visual FoxPro Professional from disks.

The Autodemo program, also available on the compact disc, provides guided demonstrations of many of Microsoft's Developer Tools & Products, including FORTRAN and Visual C++. Autodemo is not installed from the compact disc unless explicitly requested.
