SYMPTOMSWhen installing Visual C++, you may get the following error immediately after clicking the Visual C++ 2.2 button in the "Visual C++ Master Setup" dialog box: This error will terminate the setup process. CAUSEDuring the beginning of Setup \MSVC20\VCSETUP.BIN is copied from the CD-ROM drive to the directory specified as your TEMP directory. The file is named ~vc##.tmp, where ## represents a number. This file is in turn spawned by SETUP.EXE. SETUP.EXE is unable to copy ~vc##.tmp correctly to the hard drive. The problem is caused by an inability of the CD-ROM driver to copy the VCSETUP.BIN file. RESOLUTIONUse one of the following five methods to resolve this problem: Method OneProblems have been reported when running Windows NT version 3.50 on Zeos P5-90 Pantera computers using dual- or quad-speed Mitsumi CD-ROM drives that are configured to run on IRQ 15 address 0x170. The error presents itself when using the default ATAPI.SYS file that ships with Windows NT, which is dated 9-4-94 and is 9,328 bytes.To fix this:
Method TwoFrom a Windows NT command prompt:
NOTE: If you have trouble copying the file in step 1, be sure to try the
copy via File Manager from Windows NT as well as from MS-DOS. If you have a
dual boot operating system (such as Windows For Workgroups), try copying
the file from the other operating system. If you change operating systems
in order to perform the copy, be sure to boot back to your original
operating system prior to completing step 2.
Method ThreeIf you have a dual boot operating system boot into it, and try the steps in "Method Two" (or their equivalents).Method FourIf you have access to a network, you may be able to share a CD-ROM drive from another computer, and run SETUP normally from that CD-ROM drive.Method FiveUsing a network, you may be able to copy the contents of the CD-ROM drive to a network share, and run setup from the share.Additional query words: 2.20
