The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0b

When you run the Setup wizard and the only selection in step 2 (ODBC drivers) is
SQL Server or the Oracle driver, the following error occurs:

  Required File Missing ODBCCP32CP_

When you click the OK button in the error box, the Setup Wizard quits.

RESOLUTION
==========

Select more than one ODBC driver in step 2 of the Setup Wizard. The Other ODBC
driver to be selected should be one other than the SQL Server or Oracle drivers.
As a suggestion, select the Text driver.

the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0

2. Build the project into an .exe file, and place the .exe file into a directory
  by itself.

3. Start the Setup Wizard.

4. In Step 1, select the directory that contains the .exe file as the
  Distribution Tree Directory.

5. In Step 2, select ODBC drivers, and make sure only the SQL Server Driver box
  is checked. Then click OK. Any other selections may or may not be made from
  the Step 2 dialog.

  Also select either of the disk sizes or the netsetup from this dialog.

7. Fill in a Caption and Copyright in Step 4.

8. Click the Next button to pass thru Steps 5 and 6, and then click Finish.

The Progress dialog will be displayed. A thermometer will appear with the caption

"Microsoft Visual FoxPro Wizards" and the message "! Required file missing:
ODBCCP32.CP_" will occur. At this time, clicking the OK button in the error box
will terminate the Setup wizard.

of the SQL server driver.
