This source code is located by default in the following folder: This source code is currently 16-bit only and must be compiled with a 16- bit compiler. Microsoft Visual C version 1.52c can open Progress.mak and compile it with no changes. To use this 16-bit DLL, you must specify the DLL in the Custom Progress Bar DLL dialog box of Installation Properties, on the Screen tab. You must also specify "Windows 3.1x, 95 and NT (Win16/Win32)" as your destination platform in the Installation Properties, on the Global tab. If you specify "Windows 95 and NT (True Win32)", you will receive the following error message when you compile your script: The error occurs because the True Win32 (32-bit) installation executable file cannot directly call a 16-bit DLL.
