WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A customer using the network version of WordPerfect tried to install a printer. The customer inserted the correct path to the desired directory and started the installation. During the installation the message "You Have Specified An Invalid Installation Path" appeared. The message also appeared when trying to copy the .ALL file to the same directory. The customer verified that they had sufficient rights to the directory but found that the .PRS and .ALL files had been flagged non-sharable. Changing the flagging of the files allowed for proper installation. Another customer received the "You Have Specified An Invalid Installation Path" message when installing WP on a hard drive. The user found the error to be caused by the path specified for the keyboard and macro files. The user was not running on a network, but had specified the F: drive for the files. Changing the path to a drive on the hard drive eliminated the error. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
