The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The 02/07/90 release of the INSTALL.EXE program changed the error message "File Could Not Be Copied, Disk May Be Full" to a more accurate "Invalid Drive" message. More information on this change and the reason behind it are in the Software Change Notice for that date.

Possible causes for this error are as follows:
1.      When installing WordPerfect on a Novell Network if the Directory Entries Available allocation is set too low. The network supervisor should adjust this and try running Install again.

2.      When trying to install WP on a drive other than where the WP directory is located. For example, installing WP on the D: drive when the WP directory is on the C: drive.

3.      When the user is installing to an invalid drive. A user corrected the problem by selecting Custom Install and changing the path for files from C:\ to D:\. This customer did not have a C: drive.

4.      When the location of printer files in the WordPerfect setup menu was set to the A: drive, and the user was installing the files from the A: drive. Changing the location of the files to another drive eliminated the error message (Shift-F1, 6, 4).

5.      When the .EXE files are attribed Read Only using the DOS ATTRIB +R command. The file attributes can be change back to Read/Write/Create by typing ATTRIB -R at a DOS prompt.
