Record #1181 Product Family: Software Product Line: ViewLogic Product Part: PROflow Product Version: 3.0 Problem Title: Proflow : DOS error #53 : Can't open file. Problem Description: Upon entering ProFlow you may receive the following error : DOS error #53 : Can't open file. Solution 1: One possible cause of this error is a corrupted or incorrect project.lst file. Open the <proser>\standard\vf\project.lst with a text editor and examine the directory paths to be sure they exist. The project.lst file should look like the following : 2 c:\designs\mydesign <---- Verify all directories exist c:\others\urdesign <---- and not on a network. c:\demos\pci <---- Solution 2: Verify that the WDIR variable in the c:\autoexec.bat file is set correctly. It should point to the <proser>/standard directory. ***Also be sure there are no spaces after the path.*** This is also known to cause this error. For Example : SET WDIR=C:\PROSER\STANDARD End of Record #1181 - Last Modified: 03/12/99 17:57
