Some insights to Windows Installation; S/E 53: PATH!
920217-elp02
Subject: How Progress installs groups and icons for windows
The install.exe does the following system call
to create the groups and icons for progress:
system("win instgrp");
This command tells Windows to start up with the executable
instgrp. If this fails, it will display the following
error and prompt the user to press return to continue.
INSTALL ERROR (53): Groups and icons were not created
The progress.cfg file gets copied to the installation
directory before this command gets executed
so the error should not appear if the WINDOWS directory in in
the operation system PATH. Check this first.
As for the memory problem, the user should be able to run
this in the standard 640K.
Ask the standard questions about what memory resident software
is in use, does the user actually have a memory manager
that is allowing access to memory, etc.
