The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

If a filename is specified when MCIWndCreate is called (that is, the last parameter is not NULL), an MCI Error occurs giving this message: 

  Cannot find the specified file. Make sure the path and file name
  are correct.

RESOLUTION

This bug was fixed in Windows NT version 3.51. The workaround is to pass NULL as the filename when calling MCIWndCreate. Then call MCIWndOpen to open the file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
