PRB: Unable to Run Setup Wizard From Shared Network Install

SYMPTOMS

Running the Setup Wizard from a shared network installation of Visual FoxPro results in the Setup Wizard failing and returning this error:

One or more of the source distribution files defined in <drive\ path> cannot be located (BROWSE FOR !FOUND to see which files are missing). Run the Visual FoxPro Professional Setup to install the files, then run the Setup Wizard again.

NOTE: The Browse for !Found command is executed on the compress.dbf table.

CAUSE

Visual FoxPro was installed as a shared network installation and by design, the default feature set of a workstation installation does not install the distribution kit.

RESOLUTION

Rerun the Visual FoxPro Setup program. Choose the Add/Remove option, select the Professional Features check box, and select Application Distribution.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

For the majority of installations, the default feature set installed by the Visual FoxPro workstation installation will suffice. However if other native Visual FoxPro functionality is required, you must rerun the Setup program to add the missing components.
