TITLE   :BUG: "Locate File" Message When Running a PDW Setup App
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for
   Windows, version 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When running a setup program generated by the Visual Basic Package and
Deployment Wizard (PDW), a "Locate File" message is displayed.

This typically occurs when navigating to a URL that invokes an Internet
Component Download. For example, navigating to an ActiveX Document or Web
page containing an ActiveX control packaged with the PDW.

CAUSE
=====

The setup program may be unpacking a .CAB file that has another .CAB file
inside of it, also known as a "nested" CAB file. The Internet Component
Download INF syntax generated by the PDW does not support nested CAB files;
therefore, an error message prompts the user for the location of the file.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
