INFO: No Error Message Text If .ERR Files Not in PATH

• Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with:
  • Microsoft C for MS-DOS, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0ax
  • Microsoft C for OS/2, versions 6.0, 6.0a
  • Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, version 7.0
  • Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.5
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, versions 1.0, 2.0, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When a compiler error occurs, the error message does not include any text.

CAUSE

The C1.ERR and C23.ERR files are not installed in a directory listed in the PATH environment variable. Normally, Setup installs these files into the compiler BIN directory.

RESOLUTION

The required steps vary depending on the compiler you are using.

• For Microsoft C versions 6.0x, put the Setup Disk in a disk drive, make it the current drive, and type setup /copy at the MS-DOS command prompt. Setup prompts for the name of the file to copy from the distribution disks and the name of the destination directory on your hard disk.



• For Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0, use the CSETUP.EXE program to copy the files.



• For Visual C++ version 1.0 and above, locate the files you want to copy on the Visual C++ disks and use the EXPAND.EXE utility to copy and decompress the files.
