"1016 FileDelete: File not found" during setup

Keywords:   Filedelete 1016 installation setup

Question:

I downloaded winbatch evaluation copy, unzipped it, and when I ran setup.exe, I got a message 1016 FileDelete: File not found. The setup fails on the line If FileExist(scname) then FileDelete(scname), it seems to be trying to install popmenu.exe?

Answer:

Winbatch is probably attempting to install popmenu.exe in the start menu. For some reason we are not able to write the file to that directory and setup is choking. This problem has been fixed in the current setup program for WinBatch.

Work around:

Look for the "setup.inf" file in the Winbatch\System subdirectory, open it with an editor (ie.notepad). Within the file search for the word "pop32i". We are going to edit the following line:
f4x10=disk1, normal|startup|apppath,   pop32i.ex_,   system\popmenu.exe,  system\PopMenu.exe

Change to:(by taking out "startup|")
f4x10=disk1, normal|apppath,   pop32i.ex_,   system\popmenu.exe,  system\PopMenu.exe
