DOCUMENT:Q102509 05-AUG-1993 [W_NT] TITLE :CA Presents Shopper Installation Is Garbled Under Windows NT PRODUCT :Windows NT PROD/VER:3.10 OPER/SYS:WINDOWS KEYWORDS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== CA Presents Shopper version 1.4 has a Clip Art Shopper Windows-based program that has an MS-DOS-based installation program. When you run this installation program, you get garbled or corrupted messages. CAUSE ===== This problem occurs because the CA Presents Shopper 1.4 installation program calls XCOPY to install files. Since Windows NT XCOPY is not an MS-DOS-based application, it doesn't interact with the installation program the same way the MS-DOS-based version does. As a result, the display looks garbled (however, the installation proceeds normally). RESOLUTION ========== To work around this problem, either ignore the garbled screen display or upgrade to Presents version 1.5 or later.
