3633.0. "Problem installing DECwindows products." by KERNEL::LOAT (Southern boys with Western smiles........) Mon Nov 12 1990 04:46

    
    A customer is trying to install DECwrite/British 1.0, and DECview3D,
    and he gets an error while unpacking the save sets. The error for
    both products is of the form"
    
    "%VMSINSTAL-E-BADSPEC, file spec XXXXX.UID cannot be parsed"
    
    At first, I thought it was a DECview3D problem, but after he tried
    DEcwrite as well, it seemed to be a DECwindows/VMS problem.
    
    Could there be a DECwindows problem which would cause these symptoms,
    when trying to install DECwindows products?  
    
    Ideas?
