I have just upgraded to MSDOS 5.0.
Everything seems to work OK except MS Windoes 3.0 in 386 Enhanced Mode.
When I invoke (double-clik on an icon or "run") a program that does not
reside in the Windods default directory, the following message is displayed:
Application Execution Error
"Cannot find file; check to ensure that
path and the file name are correct."
The PATH definition and the program file name (command-line box in the icon)
are correct.
This happens only while Windows runs in 386 Enhanced Mode.
Windows runs properly in Real Mode and Standard Mode.
Note: A WINA20.386 file is automatically installed in the root directory by
the MSDOS 5.0 setup program. Windows cannot starts in Enhanced Mode without
this file. If I remove this file, Windows in Enhanced Mode detects it and
complains on the missing WINA20.386 file.
Any clues how to fix the problem?
Regards
Eitan
