PRB: SETUP.APP Creates Disk Image too Large for a Floppy Disk (136211)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q136211 SYMPTOMS
When you use Setup.app to create disk images of your application, the
resulting files that are supposed to fit on one blank floppy disk occupy
more space than you have on a blank floppy disk.
CAUSE
This may be caused by a virus-checking software package by Central Point
Software. When the Visual FoxPro .exe file is created, the virus-checking
software creates a file with a .vir extension and places it in the same
directory as the .exe file. When the .exe file is run on a computer that is
running Central Point's virus-checking software, the .vir file is checked.
NOTE: Central Point Software is a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make
no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or
reliability.
The .vir file can vary in size. If Setup.app created a disk image that is
close to the capacity of the floppy disk size you are using, it could be
that the .vir file is just enough to exceed the capacity of a blank floppy
disk. You would discover this situation when you try to copy the contents
of the disk directory to a blank floppy disk and receive an error informing
you of the insufficient disk space.
WORKAROUND
Remove the .vir file from the disk directory in which it is located. The
contents of the disk directory should then fit on a blank floppy disk.
