SYMPTOMS

When you run Setup.exe from the Msdev\Redist\Dao, the following error message might appear during a typical installation:

General file transfer error: Please check your target location and try again.

Error Number:-2

If you are running a compact setup, the following message appears:

Data Access Objects (DAO) SDK successfully installed

However, the compact setup does not create the DAOSDK folder under Msdev.

CAUSE

The Redist\Dao folder does not contain the complete DAO SDK. It only has the redistributable part of the DAO SDK.

RESOLUTION

Run the setup using the Setup.bat file or use the NOSDK as the argument to Setup.exe like this:

   setup NOSDK.

This is discussed in the Readme.wri file in the Redist\Dao folder.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
