Re: Finally upgrading to Clipper 5.3 from S87

Hi Bob,

I have re-installed CA-Clipper 5.3 from the CD. Then unzipped the 5.3a
patch and trying to install it. I get errors on just about every file.
Where ever a new file is added, that passes, but when it tries to patch and
existing file I get this error:


/*
Applying MODIFY File Patch for 'CLIPPER.EXE'

Warning wpt0036: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name
was
found. No update done since file contents do not match.
*/

Could I have gotten the wrong patch or is there a problem with the files on
my install disk?
