Article: Q32070
Product(s): See article

The compiler can generate the error D1001, "could not execute C2.EXE,"
under the following conditions:

1. The .EXE file cannot be found. A terminate-and-stay-resident
   (TSR) program could alter the setting of the PATH environment
   variable, causing the .EXE to not be found.

2. There is not enough memory.

3. The .EXE file is corrupt, or has an illegal .EXE file format.

4. DOS and COMMAND.COM are incompatible. If their version numbers
   are different, the compiler might not be able to open the
   intermediate file in the TMP directory.
