Problem

Symptoms: If a customer tries to install a PTR/Graphics disk with a release date prior to 03/30/90 with an INSTALL.EXE release date of 03/30/90 or later, the customer will receive an "Index of Files Are Invalid" or "The Index Of Files On This Diskette Is Invalid" error message. Solutions: The error message, "The Index of Files Are Invalid" appears because the INSTALL.EXE program is looking for files on the disk that are not there. The WPSMALL.DRS file and the PRINTER.TST file were moved to different disks in different release dates. This error message is generated because an 03/30/90 Install release date thinks that the WPSMALL.DRS file should be located on this disk, but it was moved to another disk. This error message can be generated by any file that INSTALL.EXE cannot find on the current disk being installed. The user can continue with the Install process, if they simply answer "Y" to continue, then instruct the user go back to the original install disks to copy the WPSMALL.DRS and PRINTER.TST.
