QB 4.50 SETUP.EXE Hanging Problem on Leading Edge Model D (64099)
This article was previously published under Q64099
SUMMARY
Two separate customers reportedly hung their Leading Edge Model D
computers after executing the QuickBasic version 4.50 installation
program (SETUP.EXE on the Setup/Microsoft QB Express Disk) under DOS
version 3.20. Microsoft could not duplicate this problem using either
MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 3.20. The reported problem did not occur when
the customers attempted installation with the next version of the
operating system, DOS version 3.21, on their Leading Edge Model D
computers.
MORE INFORMATION
Please note that the SETUP.EXE program for QuickBasic 4.50 is mostly a
file-transferring program. To work around the problem above without
upgrading DOS, you can set up QuickBasic by simply copying the files
directly from the original distribution disks.
The QB Express program can also be copied and run from a hard disk. To
run QB Express, copy all files on the root directory of the
Setup/Microsoft QB Express disk. Then type LEARN to start QB Express.
