Installing ADT 2.0 Run-Time Application on Windows 95

Usage: [/A]
Use /A to run setup in administrator mode.

Installing ADT 7.0 or ODE Run-Time Application on Windows 95

Setup Error 530
This is an invalid command line option: <partial path>

When you click OK, a message box containing usage information for setup appears.

Installing Run-Time Application (Any Version) on Windows NT 4.0

Cannot find the file <path to setup.exe> (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available.

Setup then fails.

CAUSE

There is a space in the path of the file, Setup.exe. For example, you receive one of the errors described in the "Symptoms" section if Setup.exe is located on the following network share:


   \\MyComputer\My Path\Setup.exe

RESOLUTION

Change the name of the network share on which your run-time application Setup program is located to one that does not contain spaces in the path.
