FIX: Not All Setup Wizard Options Are Saved in Wzsetup.ini

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

The Visual FoxPro Setup Wizard saves all user options in a file named Wzsetup.ini. The Setup Wizard uses this file to initialize itself on subsequent runs. However, the options for "Create a Web executable" and "Create a DEP file" are not saved in the Wzsetup.ini file.

RESOLUTION

Because these two options are not persisted, you must select them each time you run the Setup Wizard.

STATUS
