SYMPTOMS
========
When installing ODBC drivers from the Visual C++ 4.1 CD-ROM, you may see the
following error message:
Setup could not open the file:
"...\MSDEV\REDIST\ORACLE.HLP".
CAUSE
=====
Setup is installing the Oracle ODBC driver that ships with Visual C++ and the
help file for the driver is missing from the 4.1 CD-ROM.
RESOLUTION
==========
Prior to running setup, copy Oracle.hlp from your Visual C++ 4.0 CD-ROM into
your System32 (System in Windows 95) directory.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ 32- bit Edition
version 4.2.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This should not result in any loss of information. The Oracle.hlp file that
shipped with Visual C++ 4.0 is the same file that shipped with version 4.1.
