The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

During the installation of Borland C++ version 4.5, the Install program stops responding (hangs) when you choose to read the Readme file.

CAUSE

Borland C++ is waiting for the 16-bit program called Notepad to close, but in both Windows 95 and Windows NT, Notepad.exe is a 32-bit program. This causes the Install program to hang.

RESOLUTION

Do not open the Readme file.

-or-

Request an updated version of the Readme file from Borland International, Inc.
