>>>I have a very simple program that copies some files from a CD to the hard drive. I have compiled it into a EXE and I am getting an error with the message being: DO D:\mydir\myexe.exe. I only get the error when I try to run the EXE on the CD. If I copy it to the C: drive then it works. I added a CONFIG.FPW with a RESOURCE = OFF and I still get the error. Any ideas? TIA!

Try pointing TMPFILES to a local hard drive location (while you can be reasonably sure that C:\ will exist, it's not safe or smart to use the root of a drive, which can only support a limited number of file entries in some file systems) - perhaps your setup can ensure that a C:\MYTEMP always will exist, and then add the entry

If the file came from the CD, the "read only " attibute may be the cause of your problem if you try to overwrite it?
