A customer reported that when running the SETUP.EXE installation
program for Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS)
Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and OS/2, problems may occur if a Token Ring
network device driver Version 1.10 has been loaded from the CONFIG.SYS
file during a system boot. Upon removing the device driver and
rebooting the system, everything seems to install and build correctly.

The customer reported that the source files on the distribution disks
were overwritten with the current system date and weren't properly
unpacked onto the hard disk, and subsequent library and toolbox builds
crashed because of the corrupt files used. Microsoft has not confirmed
this information.
