PRB: Cannot View Welcome Pages on Visual J++ CD

ID: Q165551

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual J++, version 1.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, 4.01

SYMPTOMS

When viewing the pages in the Welcome directory of Visual J++ 1.0, with Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, the following error message is generated:

   Welcome to Visual J++ requires a frames-capable browser, such as
   Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, which is included on the Visual J++
   Installation CD.

CAUSE

Although these browsers support frames, there is a conflict between the BODY and FRAMESET tags in the HTML files.

RESOLUTION

Copy the Welcome directory and its subdirectories to your local drive, then remove the <BODY> and </BODY> lines from the following three files:

   \welcome\devproc\devproc.htm
   \welcome\interest\interest.htm
   \welcome\started\started.htm

To start the introduction pages, run the Welcome.exe program in the welcome directory.
