PC Forms: Err Msg: Error Could Not Execute... (141068)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer
This article was previously published under Q141068 SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Electronic Forms Designer (E-form) on a Microsoft
Windows 95 computer, you may get the following error message after you run
SETUP.EXE:
Error could not execute C:\WINDOWS\CMDKINST.EXE 2
CAUSE
This error can occur if the E-forms Setup disk has been updated to a newer
version and the CMDKINST.EXE file is not present in the Windows directory.
RESOLUTION
NOTE: The file sizes and dates for Electronic Forms Designer Setup files on
Disk 1 are:
SETUP.EXE 15,360 9/20/93 12:59pm
USERINST.EX_ 37,205 10/13/93 5:58pm
You can use one of the following workarounds when you get the above error
message:
- Get the newest version of the updated Setup files, version 1.03 from
Product Support Services.
File sizes and dates for latest updated Setup files:
SETUP.EXE 15,360 4/24/95 3:24pm
VER.DL_ 9,696 11/1/93 5:11am
CMDKINST.EXE 71,240 4/27/95 8:23pm
CMDKINST.EX_ 31,231 4/27/95 8:23pm
- Use the expand command and expand a new version from the E-forms
Setup disk that you are using. This can be done because the setup
files (version 1.01) does not expand the CMDKINST.EX_ correctly;
however, you can correctly manually expand the file yourself. The
following syntax is required for a manual expand:
expand a:\cmdkinst.ex_ c:\<windir>\cmdinst.exe - Rename the C:\<WINDIR>\CMDKINST.EX to C\<WINDIR>\CMDKINST.EXE and
restart the E-forms Setup program.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 1.0 of Microsoft
Electronic Forms Designer. A fix for this problem is in development, but
has not been regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production
environments. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more
information on the availability of this fix.
