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

Problem

Symptoms: The error message "Write Protect Error Writing Drive A:" appeared when a user tried to install the update of WordPerfect. Solutions: One of the first things to check in this situation is the Location of Files either under Custom Install or within the program itself. Normally one of the settings will be pointing to A: and will need to be changed.

Another troubleshooting tip is to check if there is a path under the Custom Install. If there is not a path, add one. For one customer, there wasn't a path next to Printers in the Install program. After the customer entered a path, the error was eliminated and the installation worked properly.
