        WATCOM C/C++ 10.0 Installation Problem in OS/2 Warp

--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

The error message, "Desktop is corrupted," is received when you restart 
the system after installing WATCOM C/C++ 10.0 on a system with OS/2 
Warp. The system goes to an OS/2 Window session.

RESOLUTION

1. At the command prompt type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter to edit the
   CONFIG.SYS file.

2. Move all references to the WATCOM directory to the end of the
   LIBPATH, PATH, and DPATH statements. For example, if the LIBPATH
   statement reads:

      LIBPATH=C:\WATCOM;C:\OS2\DLL;C:\OS2;

   Change it to read: 

      LIBPATH=C:\OS2\DLL;C:\OS2;C:\WATCOM;

The WATCOM 10.0 SOM DLLs are down-level to those that come with OS/2 
Warp. When they are placed at the beginning of the search paths, they 
are found before the current level that come with OS/2 Warp. The OS/2 
code assumes the Desktop is corrupted. Changing the search path allows 
the correct level of DLL to be found first.
