   TITLE     : How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services

Ndkwiz.exe is a self-extracting file that contains the following:

  Dksetup.prg  - the revised Distribution Kit Setup Wizard program
  Required.dbf - a table used by the Setup program
  Readme.txt   - the text of this article

Once you have obtained Ndkwiz.exe, type "ndkwiz" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS prompt to extract the files listed above from the Ndkwiz.exe file. Copy the Dksetup.prg and Required.dbf files to the DKWIZARD subdirectory (in your FoxPro for Windows directory), then rebuild the Setup.pjx project.

NOTE: This file is not necessary if you are using the Setup Wizard (Setup.app) included with the Distribution Kit. You need this updated file only if you want to modify the Setup Wizard and create a new application.

The Dksetup.prg file is one of the program files used to create Setup.app, the Setup Wizard used to create Setup disks for applications created with the FoxPro for Windows Distribution Kit.

Several references to old files exist in this file, including:

   #DEFINE c_eslfile     "Foxw250b.esl"
   #DEFINE c_oldesl      "Foxw2500.esl"
   #DEFINE c_oldesl1     "Foxw250a.esl"

If the Dksetup.prg file is used to create a new Setup.app application, the following error message will appear when the Setup Wizard begins to build disks:

   FoxPro Setup Wizard Error

Foxw250b.esl is not among the files to ship with your application. It must be on the destination machine in order to run your application.

This problem will only affect users who build a new Setup.app file using the Dksetup.prg file. If the Setup.app file that ships with the Distribution Kit is used, this problem will not occur.
