Q122301: FIX: Correct Icons Are Not Displayed After CD-ROM Setup

Article: Q122301
Product(s): Microsoft C Compiler
Version(s): 2.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbsetup
Last Modified: 29-JUL-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual C++, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

After installation is finished, the icons for MFC Tracer, PView, and WinDiff are
displayed with the default white icons instead of with their own icons. Note
that the path to run the tools is correct.

CAUSE
=====

The setup program sets the properties, in Program Manager, for the three icons
for these three tools to point to the hard disk installation directories. For
the CD-ROM installation option in setup, these tools are used from the CD-ROM
and not copied to the hard disk, so the location for the icons is incorrect.

RESOLUTION
==========

From the Program Manager menu, choose File.Property for the MFC Tracer in the
'Visual C++ 2.0' group. Click the Change Icon ... button. Change the path for
the icon to point to the \MSVC20\BIN\TRACER.EXE on CD-ROM. Repeat the procedure
for PView and WinDiff.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was fixed in Microsoft Visual C++,
32-bit Edition, version 4.0.
