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.
NOTE: For help with EXPAND.EXE, type EXPAND /? and press <Enter> at a
command prompt.
