SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Application Install Wizard with the Windows CE Toolkit for
Visual Basic (VBCE) immediately after selecting the location for the output
files, the following error message may occur:

  INSTWZRD Encountered a Fatal Error. This suggests that you have a bad or
  corrupt install. Please reinstall "Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0".

If you're using eMbedded Visual Basic (eVB), the following error may occur
immediately after selecting the location for the output files:

Unable to find list of available processors from the SDK specified by this
project. Please verify that the most recent version of this platform SDK has
been installed on your system.

CAUSE
=====

The Application Install Wizard is attempting to read from the Vbce.ini file to
populate the next screen in the wizard with target CPU choices. The Vbce.ini
file may be missing or may contain invalid data.
