Windows 3.0 Error "No Association Exists For. |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: If the error "No Association Exists For The Specified File" occurs when trying to run WP or any DOS application by its PIF file in the Windows 3.0 environment, the customer probably had earlier versions of Windows (e.g., Win 286 or Win 386) before purchasing Windows 3.0. They then installed Windows 3.0 over their old version. The old WIN.INI file would not have been updated to reflect the PIF files which need to be recognized as program files. As a result, when running WP by its PIF file, Windows 3.0 would not recognize that the file was executable. The customer would need to add the word PIF at the end of the "PROGRAM=" line found in the first 10 to 15 lines of the WIN.INI file. Another user found the "No Association Exists For The Specified File" error to be caused by the information entered on the Load= line in the WIN.INI file. The executable filename listed on that line (to be started upon entering Windows) was incorrect. Correcting the filename, exiting Windows and re-entering eliminated the error message. |
