SUMMARY
=======
Setup.exe can create a log file when you run it. This assists in troubleshooting
setup problems with distributed applications.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To tell Setup.exe to create a log file, follow these steps:
1. 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.
