Introduction
If your
Broker,
Agent, or
Network
Version has an invalid entry in the [Setup]
section of your PCAWIN.INI
file, you may see the following error message when you
start PC Access:
The PCAWinPath entry in
PCAWIN.INI contains a
path that may not exist.
The above error message can occur when any one of the following are true:
- You moved your PC Access
executable directory from one hard drive to another.
- You initially installed PC Access to the
C:\PCAWIN directory
and backed up your setup files to
disk 1. Then you installed PC Access to a different directory,
such as C:\PCAWINNEW
on another computer.
If you are using a
Network version, your PCAWinPath
does not point to the PC Access
executable directory on the server.
