Switching Disks

InstallShield 2025 » InstallScript Debugger

Your script may encounter problems when it attempts to prompt the user to remove one disk and insert the next. For example, you may get a "File not found" error message at the point where the user is supposed to take out Disk 1 and insert Disk 2.

Usually when you encounter such a problem, it occurs because you left a file open on your diskette. DOS will raise this error message when it finds a new disk volume ID or file allocation table and cannot access the open file.

To avoid this problem, do not open files directly on the diskette during your setup. Do not use your information files, bitmap files, or DLLs directly from diskette. Instead, copy the files to the target hard disk and access them from the hard disk.

If you encounter such a problem while debugging, verify that you do not open any files before transferring them to the target disk.
