Jack,
"The correct PATH set for R:BASE executables and the default installation directory" means the directory where R:BASE for DOS is installed, such as C:\RBFILES;
Unfortunately, seven (7) years old 6.0 for DOS installation disk using legacy installers are NOT going to work with the latest and greatest MS Operating Systems.
As I have said before, contact R:BASE Technologies, Inc., at 724.733.0053 or via e-mail at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] if your desire to stay CURRENT and Up-to-Date with your mission critical database and business application running R:BASE!
Upgrading from R:BASE 6.0 for DOS to R:BASE 6.5++ for DOS is a breeze! Then, you can also take advantage for all ENHANCEMENTS and BUG-FIXES.
Good Luck!
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.

Razzak,
OK, I gave that a shot, adding a:\ to the path, although it seemed a
little odd to have to make the a: drive part of the path to install a
program for the first time. I'm installing it on my home computer first, to
be safe, so there is no path to R:base executables let alone a default
installation directory. The same message comes up. These are Microrim
disks, for 6.0 for DOS, 1996 - three floppies plus a LAN pack. Why does it
ask for an E drive?
