I have an application running Btrieve 6.15. Today I upgraded the DBE
to Pervasive v.8.5. Upon the completion of the installation I was
prompted for a reboot. While booting up, an error came up stating
"Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows or a
Windows application. The Windows registry or System.INI file refers to
this device file, but the device no longer exists. If you deleted this
file on purpose, try uninstalling the associated application using its
uninstall or setup program.
C:\PVSW\BIN\BTRBOX95.VXD press any key to continue".


Then, when trying to launch the app a st8005 occurred. Any help would
be appreciated.


This is NOT a DOS application, rather a 16-bit windows app. Should this
file be deleted/renamed?

btrbox95.vxd is only used by DOS applications, The status 8005 is
probably not related to the btrbox95 file except that it also normally
refers to missing files. It sounds like the install just was not able
to put all the files in place.

I would uninstall Pervasive, stop anti-virus software (or possibly
remove it if it does not stop) then reinstall.

Thank-you. An uninstall reinstall has been done. I even tried setting
up another client and received the same exact results.

If you are running Windows 9x, simply copy this file over from another
Windows 9x workstation. If you have no need for DOS application
support, remove the reference to BTRBOX95 from the registry.
