The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5x, 2.6a
When you are running a distributed application that takes advantage of GENGRAPH.APP, which is set up by the FoxPro for Macintosh Distribution Kit, the following error will occur:
File 'GENGRAPH.APP' does not exist. Cancel or Ignore.
The Setup Wizard, SETUP.APP, does not include GENGRAPH.APP in the folder of disk images to be distributed even when GENGRAPH.APP has been placed in the source folder prior to running the Setup Wizard. Therefore, GENGRAPH.APP is not installed with the application.
SETUP.APP has been coded to exclude the list of prohibited files found on page 8 of the FoxPro for Macintosh Distribution Kit "User's Guide." The code that determines if a file can be distributed looks at a table, NAUGHTY.DBF, to make this determination. If the current file to be processed is in NAUGHTY, then the file to be processed is skipped. Because GENGRAPH.APP is included in the table NAUGHTY, SETUP.APP skips over it when it is processing the files in the folder of files to be distributed.
In order to include GENGRAPH.APP on one of the disks of files to be distributed, you must modify the Setup Wizard, SETUP.APP. Because the source code for the Setup Wizard is included with the Distribution Kit, you can make the necessary modifications to the source and rebuild SETUP.APP.
IMPORTANT: Although GENGRAPH.APP can be distributed with an application created with FoxPro for Macintosh and the FoxPro for Macintosh Distribution Kit, Microsoft Graph cannot be distributed freely. Every copy of Microsoft Graph MUST be distributed with a licensed copy of a product that includes Microsoft Graph. These products include Microsoft Word version 5.0 and later for Macintosh, Microsoft PowerPoint version 3.0 and later for Macintosh, and Microsoft FoxPro versions 2.5b, 2.5c, and 2.6a for Macintosh.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
1. In the Macintosh Finder, create a folder called TEST.
2. Place a copy of GENGRAPH.APP in the TEST folder.
