Can't Open Setup.exe on Learn VB Now CD-ROM (173258)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Learning Edition for Windows 5.0
This article was previously published under Q173258 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install the Learn Visual Basic Now program included
with the Microsoft Visual Basic Deluxe Learning Edition, you will receive
the following error message:
File Not Found.
CAUSE
The Learn Visual Basic Now CD-ROM contains mixed-case filenames, including
Setup.exe. These filenames cannot be read by Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x, or
by Windows 95 computers that use MS-DOS CD-ROM drivers.
RESOLUTION
Contact your CD-ROM drive manufacturer to obtain an updated driver for your
CD-ROM drive. For Windows NT 3.5x, the only resolution is to upgrade to
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x, Windows 3.1, and MS-DOS cannot read CD-ROM
filenames that contain spaces or lowercase letters. However, later
versions of Microsoft Windows, including Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows
NT 4.0, use updated CD-ROM drivers to allow spaces, lowercase letters, and
long filenames.
Because Windows 95 permits extended CD-ROM filenames, it does not have
problems reading the CD-ROM for this book. However, Windows 95
configurations that use MS-DOS CD-ROM drivers will not be able to access
the extended CD-ROM filenames on this CD-ROM.
