During the install of Visual Basic 6.0 from a CD, I get the following message:
"Cannot copy CDROM01.ICO. System Error 951".
My only option is "OK". So, I click on the "OK" button and the VB setup terminates. What the crap is this? After examining the CD I find the file. It is in the E:\...\VB\COMMON\GRAPHICS\ICONS\COMPUTER folder along with alot of other icons. What is the deal with this particular icon? All the others were copied over but not 'CDROM01.ICO'. So, I tried to copy it manually but Windows gave me the same error message. Later I found the same icon on my system from some previous install so I decided to use it instead of the one on the CD. But again, Windows would not allow me to copy it. Moreover, Windows would not allow me to do anything with it. I couldn't copy it, I couldn't move it, I couldn't rename it, nothing, I couldn't do anything with this icon. I then used an Icon maker program and created a new icon and tried to save it in a new folder. Guess what. Windows wouldn't allow me to even make a file called 'CDROM01.ICO', but I could make a file alled 'CDROM01.ICX'.
Somehow, Windows doesn't want me to do anything at all with the name 'CDROM01.ICO'. Why?
I'll tell you why.
I searched every file on my system for the occurance of 'CDROM01' and here is what I found.
In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file I found the following line:
C:\DOSDRVRS\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM01
In the CONFIG.SYS file I found the following line:
DEVICE=C:\DOSDRVRS\CDROM\ATAPICD.SYS /D:CDROM01
That's the problem. So, I modified the two files to use the name 'CDROM001'. After I rebooted the system I was finially allowed to manipulate the file 'CDROM01.ICO'. I reinstalled VB6 and everything went smooth. But now, I can't have a file called 'CDROM001.ICO'
Really wierd, don't you think.
