I'm not sure if this is related, but I'll throw this up for the group....
When running a 16-bit application, it makes calls to the underlying file
system through the 16-bit API and not the 32-bit API.
MVFS doesn't fully support the 16-bit API, so those calls would fail if any
of the file names or the directories in the path to that file are greater
than 8.3 in filename length.
If you have a file:
m:\my_view_has_a_long_name\so_does_my_vob\path\path2\foobar.exe
Then try:
C:> SUBST S: m:\my_view_has_a_long_name\so_does_my_vob
C:> S:
S:> path\path2\foobar.exe
This should work (provided that all the other files foobar.exe needs are
available on this path).
If this works, then that's the issue.
We shortened the name of a few of our directories and then our InstallShield
setup.exe's started working just fine.

You may have something there...
I don't know though. With a single EXE file that uses no other files I can
run it from the VOB. But if I run a setup.exe (for my companies service pack
software) I get this error. Go figure. But I can run the setup.exe from the
CD which I copied it off of to put in the VOB.

It is almost a sure thing that the error has more to do with the fact that
operating system loaders frequently require that the file system from which
the program is loaded be of a known type. MVFS is not a known type for any
of the OS's ClearCase supports. Try copying the file to a file system that
is not MVFS and see if it will execute there. Not suggesting this as a
long-term remedy, just as an experiment to confirm the diagnosis.

Does anyone know if this might have something to do with the default.magic
file?

How do I run a program from a VOB?
I get an error when I double click a .EXE file in explorer.
*** Cannot find [filename]. Windows needs this file to run [filename].***
