In a text editor, modify the file Setup.1st. 2. If you are running on Windows 95 go to the [Windows 95 Params] section heading. If you are running on Windows NT 3.51 or higher go to the [NT3.51 Intel Params] section. 3. Under your section modify the line: CmdLine = acmsetup /T setup.stf /S %s %s To read: CmdLine = acmsetup /T setup.stf /S %s %s /G "LOG.TXT" NOTE: In Visual FoxPro 5.0, the Windows NT section already has the /G "LOG.TXT" switch added. However, this not already added in Visual FoxPro 6.0. 4. Save and Close the file. 5. When you run Setup.exe, Log.txt appears in the temp directory. This file contains information about each step of the setup program and tells you whether or not it was successful.
