SYMPTOMS
========

The following error message occurs when you attempt to run a setup routine that
was created using the FoxPro SetupWizard. This message will appear after the
details have been entered on the first setup screen.

  Error: INF file contains a badly formed file description line - too few
  fields (commas)

Also, Visual FoxPro produces the following error:

  Object ID 0: Invalid ObjID field: 240.00....

CAUSE
=====

This error occurs because the SetupWizard has written decimal places to a field
in the .INF file.

RESOLUTION
==========

To eliminate this error, issue the following command before running the
SetupWizard:

  SET FIXED OFF

The .INF files will now be correctly written.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
