Aldus PageMaker version 4.0 Requires Path Statement

Last reviewed: November 23, 1994
Article ID: Q71735

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

If the ALDUS subdirectory does not appear in the path when you install Aldus PageMaker version 4.0, PageMaker does not run. If you attempt to run PageMaker without the ALDUS subdirectory in the path, the following error messages occur:

Cannot find file ALDFS.DLL
Cannot find file ALDVM.DLL
Cannot find file ALDIM.DLL
Cannot find file ALDPLS.DLL

MORE INFORMATION

The installation of PageMaker 4.0 creates two subdirectories by default: ALDUS and PM4. If the Setup program is not allowed to make changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, neither subdirectory appears in the path, causing the error messages. It is necessary to allow Setup to make these changes, or to manually add the ALDUS directory to the path statement following installation.
