Problem

Symptoms: There is a problem in the WP 5.1 installation program with the 05/31/91, 09/25/91, and 03/09/92 releases. When you are performing a dual floppy installation to 720K 3.5" disks, not all of the files that the installation program tries to put on the WP2 disk will fit. When it is time to install the WP SMALL.DRS during normal installation, the prompt says to put the WP2 disk in the drive. When this is done, the error "Disk Full" occurs. In addition to the WP.FIL, KEYS.MRS, WP.MRS, WP.QRS, and WPSMALL.DRS, the STANDARD.IRS/VRS/PRS files should also be installed to the WP2 disk. Any additional printer drivers that the customer wants to use are supposed to go on this disk. The .SET and .LCN files also write themselves to the WP2 disk. Solutions: One workaround is to keep two WP2 disks, one labeled NORMAL, the other labeled SPECIAL. Stop the installation process after you receive the "Disk Full" error message. At this point, copy the *.MRS and *.QRS files from the WP2 disk you are making called NORMAL to another new formatted disk named SPECIAL. Delete all the *.MRS and *.QRS from the NORMAL disk, and start the installation program again. Continue with the installation where you left off when the "Disk Full" error message appeared. The remaining files to be expanded during installation will fit on the NORMAL disk. Doing this allows room for video and printer files to fit on the NORMAL WP2 disk. Now, copy all of the files from the NORMAL disk except the graphics and printer drivers to the SPECIAL disk. When the customer wants to use functions such as the Equation or Macro Editor, the SPECIAL disk can temporarily be used as the WP2 disk.
