SYMPTOMS
========

When a compiler error occurs, the error message does not include any text.

CAUSE
=====

The C1.ERR and C23.ERR files are not installed in a directory listed in the PATH
environment variable. Normally, Setup installs these files into the compiler BIN
directory.

RESOLUTION
==========

The required steps vary depending on the compiler you are using.

- For Microsoft C versions 6.0x, put the Setup Disk in a disk drive, make it
  the current drive, and type "setup /copy" (without the quotation marks) at
  the MS-DOS command prompt. Setup prompts for the name of the file to copy
  from the distribution disks and the name of the destination directory on your
  hard disk.

- For Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0, use the CSETUP.EXE program to copy the
  files.

- For Visual C++ version 1.0 and above, locate the files you want to copy on
  the Visual C++ disks and use the EXPAND.EXE utility to copy and decompress
  the files.

NOTE: For help with EXPAND.EXE, type "EXPAND /?" (without the quotation marks)
and press <Enter> at a command prompt.
