The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When a user retrieved a WP 5.1 file into WP 6.0, the error "Launcher Not Available" displayed. Solutions: WP.EXE had been renamed to WP60.EXE. Renaming it back to WP.EXE solved the problem. How/Why: When you type WP at a DOS prompt to start WordPerfect, WP.COM starts, which then launches WP.EXE. If you rename WP.EXE, typing WP launches WP.COM, but then WP.COM cannot find and launch WP.EXE. If you rename WP.EXE to WP60.EXE, you need to type WP60 at a DOS prompt to enter WordPerfect. Doing this will not load WP.COM into memory. Then the launcher will not be available to launch the conversion filters needed to convert WP 5.1 files. If customers would like to rename their files to WP60 to avoid confusion with WP 5.1, they should rename both WP.COM and WP.EXE to WP60.COM and WP60.EXE.
