PRB: Distribution Setup Fails After Visual FoxPro 3.0b InstallID: Q142973 3.00b WINDOWS kbtool kbprb The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you run the Setup Wizard to create a set of distribution disks for your application, you may receive the following error:
This error repeats for Object Ids: 39, 40, 52, and 55 and the setup program
then fails.
CAUSEThe \Vfp\Distrib directory contains files from an older version of Visual FoxPro.
RESOLUTIONWhen you install a newer version of Visual FoxPro over an existing version of Visual FoxPro, delete the files in the \Distrib directory. As soon as you run the Setup Wizard again, the files that Visual FoxPro needs in the \Distrib directory are copied into the directory.
STATUSMicrosoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATIONThis situation occurs when the following circumstances are met:
Steps to Reproduce Behavior1. Build an .exe in Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0. 2. Run the Setup Wizard, and create a set of distribution disks of the 3. Install Visual FoxPro version 3.0b over version 3.0 without deleting the
4. Rebuild your .exe in Visual FoxPro version 3.0b.
5. Run the Setup Wizard again, and build a new set of distribution disks 6. Using the distribution disks, run Setup.exe. Setup fails, and the error
NOTE: The Wzsetup.ini file is created when the Setup Wizard is run and
retains the user's preferences for future uses of the Setup Wizard. Two
copies are created while running the Setup Wizard -- one in Visual FoxPro's
main directory and another in the intended distributed application
directory. If you intend to install a newer version of Visual FoxPro over
an older version without first removing the existing installation, consider
deleting the two copies of Wzsetup.ini as new ones are created the first
time you run the Setup Wizard again. This will ensure that you have a copy
of Wzsetup.ini that refers only to the new version of the Setup Wizard.
