Known Setup Problems

Setup program requires an Internet browser to be installed at a computer (build 564)
Installation problem under Netscape Navigator (build 564)
In some cases bitmaps in the Setup wizard dialogs are corrupted (build 564, and previous versions)
A problem with long filenames under OS/2 installed on a FAT hard disk
Error 7022 while installation (build 564)

Setup program requires an Internet browser to be installed at a computer

When AutoRun feature is ON under Windows, the installation process begins with the presentation of the "Introduction to Visual Prolog" (Intro.HTM) and other HTML files. You need to have an Internet browser (Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer) installed to read these files. If a browser is missed, your system will try to   open these files with the help of other programs.

Version Info

The information applies to  Visual Prolog 5.1, build 564 only.

Workaround
  1. If an Internet browser is not installed at your computer, it is possible to run a setup program from the  full\vprol\Install directory.

To install Windows version of Visual Prolog, run   full\vprol\Install\setup.exe.

To install OS/2 version of Visual Prolog, run   full\vprol\Install\setupos2.exe.

  1. We recommend you to install a browser, because HTML files supplied with Visual Prolog 5.1 include useful and important information.

Installation problem under Netscape Navigator

Clicking on the "Install Visual Prolog" button in the "Installation Notes" does not cause installation under Netscape Navigator.

Version Info

The information applies to  Visual Prolog 5.1, build 564 only.

Workaround

It is possible to run a setup program from the  full\vprol\Install directory.

To install Windows version of Visual Prolog, run   full\vprol\Install\setup.exe.

To install OS/2 version of Visual Prolog, run   full\vprol\Install\setupos2.exe.

Error 7022 while installation

The error 7022 ""Cannot write to file" can be caused by a corrupted file.

Version Info

The information applies to  Visual Prolog 5.1, build 564.

Workaround

Visual Prolog does not install any .DLLs, modifies no .INI files, does not alter registry, etc.
That is why, it is possible to install Visual Prolog just by copying the full\vprol\run directory to your disk.

Short trip through "Visual Prolog Subdirectories" description will help you to understand, what directories you really need to copy to your HDD. The description is included into both:

Visual Prolog online Help system (full\vprol\run\bin\vip.hlp)
"Introduction to Visual Prolog" (full\vprol\run\Intro.HTM -> Product information -> The Visual Prolog CD).

In some cases bitmaps in the Setup wizard dialogs are corrupted

The reason of the problem is wrong generation of RES files for some bitmaps.

Version Info

The information applies to  Visual Prolog 5.1, build 564, and previous versions.

A problem with long filenames under OS/2 installed on a FAT hard disk

Some files in the HTML,Foreign,SOCKBIND, and WWW directories have long filenames that are not supported by OS/2 installed on a  hard disk with FAT formatting.
Since Intro.HTM includes images with long names and refers to pages with long names, it cannot be viewed and used properly.

Version Info

The information applies to  Visual Prolog 5.1, builds 564 and 565.

Workaround

We recommend to install OS/2 version of Visual Prolog to the disk with the HPFS file system.
