PRB: Viewer Setup Error in INICM.C Line 185 or in PROGCM.C (120808)

This article was previously published under Q120808 SYMPTOMS
After creating the setup program for your Viewer title by following the
instructions in the Viewer Authoring Guide (Chapter 13, "Completing the
Package"), you test the setup by running SETUP.EXE. This results in the
following setup error message:
Setup has encountered a problem.
Please report File='INSTALL\INICM.C', Line='185' to
Microsoft Product Support Services.
The error message may report a different file and a different line number,
such as:
Please report File='INSTALL\PROGCM.C', Line='298' to
Microsoft Product Support Services.
Please report File='INSTALL\PROGCM.C', Line='468' to
Microsoft Product Support Services.
CAUSE
You must initialize the seven global variables before the setup will run
correctly. Invalid values in these variables cause the error messages:
- An error occurs in INICM.C on line 185 occurs when the setup script
calls the function CreateIniKeyValue if the MVBFileName$ variable is set
to an empty string ("").
- An error occurs in PROGCM.C on line 298 occurs when the setup script
calls the function CreateProgmanGroup if the ProgmanGroup$ variable is
set to an empty string ("").
- An error occurs in PROGCM.C on line 468 when the setup script calls the
function CreateProgmanItem if the ProgmanItem$ variable is set to an
empty string ("").
RESOLUTION
Fill in correct string values for all seven global variables near the top
of the TITLE.MST file. For information on how to correctly fill in these
values, see the "Completing the Package" chapter of the Authoring Guide,
which contains a section called "Customizing TITLE.MST." Follow these
instructions, and read the comments in the TITLE.MST file.
