Problem

Solutions: A customer updated to the 12/31/90 release of WP on a Banyan network. After doing this the customer received the message "Error, Invalid Filename" while starting WP. This error had never occurred before the upgrade. The customer found the following statement in the environment file (WP{WP}.ENV): /PS=E:\WP51\SETUP \. Once the space was removed after SETUP, the error no longer occurred. This also occurred with a user on a Novell 2.2 network.

This same error can occur if the /PS switch points to an invalid directory/drive, or to a drive locked with a password. Another user who wanted to specify a locked directory in the /PS switch entered the drive letter followed by two percent signs. The % signs indicate the directory is password protected.

Users can narrow down problems such as this by starting WP with the /SA switch. This switch forces WP to run in stand-alone mode, even when the user is in a network environment.
