Answer 1

.

You have to give the path where the exe of borland C is present in Dos.

For eg. consider you have the exe file in the path "c:\BorlandC\bin", then you should give the below command in dos before executing bcc32.exe.

path=%path%;c:\BorlandC\bin

Answer 2

Which version of Windows/DOS are you running this program.

1)see if application is compatible with windows/dos version?

2)If you have installed it on Windows. Look for the path where Boroland is installed. By default installation path is c:\Program Files\.. To set the path in windows2000/XP Right click on My computers, select properties. Go-to Advanced. Click on Environment Variables.Under system variables select path , Edit and enter the exact path.

3) If you are running on DOS. edit c:\autoexec.bat
and type
PATH=c:\Dir(where borland is installed)

Answer 3

When you start MS DOS it tosses you into "Documents and Settings" Are you in the right directory?

Not being recognized tells me you aren't.

Change directories to your Borland installation and then type "run bcc32.exe"

1. open NotePad program
2. type the complete path(along with the name of hard-disk ) of bcc32.exe in it

Answer 5

Open a command window by going to Start - > Run and typing in "cmd". Then at the command prompt, type the .exe command that you're trying to run. You should be able to see what happens without the window shutting down.

Make sure you have your file bcc32.exe in correct path and you have set the path parameter with path=c:\Dirname;

Also check that you are using correct spelling.
