ADT2: ADT Application Setup Fails with Error -1809

RESOLUTION

• Ship a SYSTEM.MDA file with your custom application. To do this, add the SYSTEM.MDA file in the Files To Include box in the ADT Setup Wizard. This way, the Workgroup Administrator does not need to create a SYSTEM.MDA file. Note that the file must be named SYSTEM.MDA in order for this workaround to work. No other name (such as MYSYS.MDA) will work.
• Test to see if some form of file sharing is running before starting the custom Setup program. You can test to see if file sharing is running in a number of ways. To test for file sharing in Microsoft Windows, you can start the MS-DOS prompt and then type "share" (without quotation marks). If file sharing is running, you will receive a message stating "SHARE already installed." You can also test for file sharing with a small Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C application (these applications are not discussed in this article).
