Could not locate VROBJ.DLL during install
Return to The Warp Pharmacy:Software
Last updated: 11 Feb 1995
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS
Customer is attempting to run the BonusPak Installation
Utility (INSTALL.CMD). The program starts up and issues
five "1 file(s) copied" messages and then pops up an error
box that states: " BPIU.EXE - COULD NOT LOCATE VROBJ.DLL ".
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION
Somehow the customer's LIBPATH statement has been changed
such that the ".;" (dot semicolon) has been deleted from
the LIBPATH. The LIBPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS should
look similar to this: LIBPATH=.;C:\OS2\DLL;C:\OS2\MDOS;
continuing on to the end. NOTE: C is drive where OS/2
Warp is installed.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION
If your customer is experiencing this error with the
BonusPak Installation Utility, have the customer check
his CONFIG.SYS file and look for the .; in the LIBPATH
statement. It normally should be the first entry in
the list of subdirectories. On a newly installed machine
it is the first item. It may however be located anywhere
on the LIBPATH= line. Ask the customer if he might have
edited this line in his CONFIG.SYS or installed any
applications that stated that they were going to edit
or update CONFIG.SYS. That will be the way to determine
how the line might have gotten modified. OS/2 Warp needs
the .; in the LIBPATH to function correctly.
A missing .; in the LIBPATH can result in all sorts of
errors occurring with different programs of the BonusPak
and the system in general.
