Errors During User Setup with Novell Logical Map Drive |
Q103353
When you run the Word for MS-DOS Setup program and select the Setup User option to install Word on a Novell workstation, the following error message may occur when Setup attempts to copy SCREEN.VID file components to your user directory:
Setup is having trouble creating the file X:\<filename>
This error occurs if the user directory is a logical drive created
using the Novell MAP utility. Setup does not recognize these mapped
drives, so it attempts to write to the root directory of the mapped
drive. If you do not have Create privileges on that directory, the
above error occurs.
For example, if you use the Novell MAP utility to map the F:\USER\NAME
user directory to the logical drive X, Setup attempts to write
SCREEN.VID component files to the root directory of the mapped drive
(in this case, F:\). The following is the Novell command that maps the
sample drive described above:
MAP X:=F:\USER\NAME We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Do not map the user directory. Setup Word in the unmapped user
directory.
After you install Word in an unmapped directory, you can manually move
the installed files to the mapped drive.
