SYMPTOMSWhen you attempt to install to a drive volume that does not have long filename support you receive the following error:
The specified volume does not support long filenames. You must select a destination that supports long filenames, or force the use of short filenames. To force short filenames, exit now and restart Setup using the /F command line option.If you attempt to use the /F switch with Setup, you will receive the following error:
The specified default directory name is invalid and setup cannot continue.This setup switch is no longer supported in Visual FoxPro so you must install to a drive that supports long filenames.
RESOLUTIONYou must install to a volume that supports long filenames, such as Windows NT, Windows 95, or Novell Netware with OS/2 Name Space.
STATUSThis behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATIONPrevious versions of Visual FoxPro allowed you to install to a drive volume that did not support long filenames by using the Setup /F switch, such as Novell Netware without OS/2 Name Space, or to a Windows for Workgroups share. This switch is no longer supported.
REFERENCESNetware is manufactured by Novell Corporation, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
