>>>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

I think that, much like the DOS CONFIG.SYS, CONFIG.FPW is space-sensitive. More importantly, if you use a FAT volume, the root can contain only a fixed number of file entries, with each file in the root occupying at least one entry.

The problem here is that files copied from a CD are inherently marked as ReadOnly; change the File Attribute to Normal and SET SAFETY OFF and you'd be fine.
