Using VSAFE and Vsafe Manager (MWAVTSR.EXE) with Windows (98457)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q98457 SYMPTOMS
When you run VSAFE with Microsoft Windows, you receive repeated messages
about .EXE files being changed if you install or upgrade any Windows-based
applications.
CAUSE
This occurs because some applications create a zero (0) byte .EXE file
and then add to the file during the installation process. When this
happens, VSAFE repeatedly reports that the .EXE has changed.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do the following:
- Run Vsafe Manager (MWAVTSR.EXE) and choose Options.
- Clear the Protect Executable Files check box and choose OK.
NOTE: When you run VSAFE with Microsoft Windows, you should also run
Vsafe Manager (MWAVTSR.EXE). This program enables VSAFE messages to be
displayed in Microsoft Windows. You should not start VSAFE after you
have started Windows, nor should you change any VSAFE settings.
