Article #29126: Specified file/directory is not readable

The error "Specified file/directory is not readable" occurs when the InterBase install cannot find the directory for the documentation. One way to make this error occur is if you copy your CD image locally, but do not copy the documentation directory and run the install locally. This error also occurs on Windows 98/ME when the complete documentation set cannot be found. The InterBase trial and the InterBase which is included with Delphi 6/7 and CBuilder 6 do not include the complete documentation set, so this error occurs when installing these products on Windows 98/ME.

This error may be treated as a warning. With the exception of documentation, the InterBase install is complete when this error occurs. Click the Finish button and start the InterBase server manually after the error occurs to complete your install, then manually copy the documentation from the location you are installing from.

To make the error not occur during install, install without the documentation.
