FIX: "Setup Error 280 Object " with Long File Names

Last reviewed: February 20, 1997
Article ID: Q162115

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to run a Setup.exe created by the Visual FoxPro 5.0 Setup Wizard, the following error occurs:

Setup error 280 Object
Your Setup files may be damaged. Try restarting
the Setup program.


CAUSE

The error is due to a file with a long file name that is large enough to require splitting. This may occur on a file size of 725 K or larger. However, smaller files may also cause problems.

RESOLUTION

You can rename the file to a conventional 8 character name or obtain an updated Setup Wizard.
