The information in this article applies to:
The Configuration portion of a Workstation Installation (INSTALL /N) fails with one of the three following messages:
There has been a problem installing the optional files.
The base product has been successfully installed. Only the
optional products have not been installed. If you want to
install any optional files, you can do so by following the
instructions in the Installation and Configuration manual.
If you are unable to correct the problem or need additional
help, contact Microsoft Product Support.
Followed by the MS-DOS error message:
Installation Aborted.
Bad command or file name
Cannot locate the desired version of FoxPro
The command, "INSTALL /N" (without the quotation marks) was not issued from the directory containing the Administrative Installation (INSTALL /A) of FoxPro.
Go to the drive and directory containing the Administrative Installation of FoxPro, then reissue the INSTALL /N command.
After a Workstation Installation completes the Basic portion of its installation, it calls the FoxPro program ADDUSER.APP to configure the workstation for the network environment. In order for FoxPro to load and run ADDDUSER.APP, the current directory must be the Administrative Installation directory.
The error received depends on which directory you started INSTALL /N from, and whether you are running it from an MS-DOS prompt in Windows, or at MS-DOS itself.
