BUG: Setup Wizard Doesn't Have Netsetup Distribution Option (155090)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh 3.0b
This article was previously published under Q155090 SYMPTOMS
When using the Setup Wizard, an option for "Netsetup" is not available. The
Setup Wizard will always create disk folders sized for distribution on high
density floppy disks.
WORKAROUND
The following steps can be used to simulate a Netsetup method of
distribution:
- Complete the Setup Wizard. For this example, refer to the application
as MyApp.
- Create a folder for network access. For this example, refer to this
folder as NetFolder.
- Copy each created disk folder, such as Install Disk 3 and Setup Disk,
to NetFolder.
- From the NetFolder:Setup Disk, make an alias of MyApp Setup.
- Move this alias up one level to the root of NetFolder. The executable
should now be installable from this alias.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The Macintosh Finder will treat folders at the same level as mounted
volumes (floppy disks) so that a floppy disk-type install is approximated.
