BUG: Trouble Changing Where SETUP Installs MASM (123869)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 6.11
This article was previously published under Q123869 SYMPTOMS
During installation of MASM version 6.11, you are given the option of
changing where the setup program will install MASM. However, if you choose
to do so, it does not work the way you'd expect.
For example, the default directory for executable files is shown in an edit
field as:
C:\MASM611\BIN
If you move the cursor to the B and press the Insert key to change to
overstrike mode, the cursor does not change in appearance, and it
incorrectly advances one space to the I. If you move the cursor back one
space to the B and type EXE, the directory is updated correctly to
C:\MASM611\EXE. However, if you didn't notice that the cursor has advanced
and left it on the I, the result would be C:\MASM611\BEXEBIN.
RESOLUTION
Once the correct directory name is entered in the edit field, the
installation proceeds as expected.
