WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user receives the message "ERROR: Invalid Destination Path Specified For Install. Unable To Create D[rive]:\PSFONTS" or "Unable To Create D[rive]:\BTFONTS" when trying to install Type 1 fonts. Solutions: This situation will most likely happen during a network installation. However, it can also happen during a stand-alone installation if one of the following items occurs:
1.      The user does not have rights to the root directory for the drive where WP 6.0 is being installed. For example, a user might have rights to H:\APPS, but not to H:\. WP by default installs Type 1 and Bitstream fonts to the subdirectories \PSFONTS and \BTFONTS off the root directory. The location for Type 1 and Speedo fonts can be changed to a directory where the user has rights (e.g., H:\APPS\PSFONTS or \BTFONTS).
2.      The root directory is full. If a directory shows 509+ files, the root directory is full and some files must be moved before more files or directories can be created on the root.

Other troubleshooting steps include:
Make sure that the customer does not already have a file named the same as a directory (e.g., C:\WPDOC or C:\WP60).

Check to see if the directory already exists. And, if the directory does exist, check to see if it has been attribed in some way (e.g., the directory being attribed as HIDDEN).
