SYMPTOMS
========

When a compiler error occurs, the error message does not include any text.

CAUSE
=====

The C1.ERR and C23.ERR files are not installed in a directory listed in the PATH
environment variable. Normally, Setup installs these files into the compiler BIN
directory.

RESOLUTION
==========

The required steps vary depending on the compiler you are using.

 - For Microsoft C versions 6.0x, put the Setup Disk in a disk drive, make it
   the current drive, and type "setup /copy" (without the quotation marks) at
   the MS-DOS command prompt. Setup prompts for the name of the file to copy
   from the distribution disks and the name of the destination directory on your
   hard disk.

 - For Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0, use the CSETUP.EXE program to copy the
   files.

 - For Visual C++ version 1.0 and above, locate the files you want to copy on
   the Visual C++ disks and use the EXPAND.EXE utility to copy and decompress
   the files.

NOTE: For help with EXPAND.EXE, type "EXPAND /?" (without the quotation marks)
and press <Enter> at a command prompt.
