SYMPTOMS
========
When running a setup program generated by the Visual Basic Package and
Deployment Wizard (PDW), a "Locate File" error message is displayed.
This typically occurs when navigating to a URL that invokes an Internet Component
Download. For example, navigating to an ActiveX Document or Web page containing
an ActiveX control packaged with the PDW.
CAUSE
=====
The setup program may be unpacking a .CAB file that has another .CAB file inside
of it, also known as a "nested" CAB file. The Internet Component Download INF
syntax generated by the PDW does not support nested CAB files; therefore, an
error message prompts the user for the location of the file.
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 the next service pack for
Visual Studio 6.0.
