Problem

PROBLEM: The HP1600.EXE file for the HP Deskjet 1600CM printer driver (from the internet) is double-compressed. This may happen with other drivers as well. Some customers will see "Sharing violation ..." or just lock up when tring to extract any double-compressed drivers.


ANSWER: You need to move the file to another directory, and then type the full path and filename to get the initial extraction to work.


STEPS TO DUPLICATE: Type in the name of the printer driver for the HP Deskjet 1600CM printer to download from the internet at http://WWW.COREL.COM/support/printerdrivers/index.htm. Choose the option for the file "HP1600.EXE" to download for WPDOS5.x. Now save this file to the \WP51 directory. (This is the default printer directory for WPDOS5.x). Now, from the MS-DOS prompt (\WP51), type in this filename "HP1600.EXE" and press Enter. This will give you the error "PKSFX (W18) Warning! HP1600.EXE already exists. Overwrite (y/n)? If you choose "Y", then you will get the error "Sharing violation reading drive : abort, retry, fail?" If you choose "N", then nothing will be extracted.
This problem is because the .EXE file is what is trying to be extracted, not the .ALL file. Since this file is already there, you cannot extract on top if itself.


DETAILS: To correct this problem, do the following:
1) Go to the MS-DOS prompt and type "CD\WP51" and press Enter.
2) If you have the MOVE command, type "MOVE HP1600.EXE C:\" and press Enter. If not, type "COPY HP1600.EXE C:\" and Enter, then type "DEL HP1600.EXE" and Enter.
3) Now, type "C:\HP1600.EXE" and Enter.
4) Finally, type "HP1600.EXE", Enter, and then follow the prompts to continue extraction.
5) Now, select this driver in the "ADDITIONAL PRINTERS" section in WP.
