Problem:
When using Net Express 5.1 or 6.0 in Windows 7 and moving the compiled files to a network drive, a runtime error 173 could show. Something like:
Load error:file 'ADIS'
error code:173, pc=0, call=1, seg=0
173 Called program file not found in drive/directory
Locally all works ok, in Windows XP locally or from a network drive the same program runs normally.

Resolution:
Open the regisrty editor and go to the following keys and remove the " symbols.
The fix for this is to make a few registry changes to handle this:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Micro Focus\\NetExpress\\5.1\\Dialog System\\5.1\\Environment
• Remove the “ (quotes) from the PATH setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Micro Focus\\NetExpress\\5.1\\Unix\\Environment
• Remove the “ (quotes) from the PATH setting
The above keys are on a 64bit machine. You will need to remove the “Wow6432Node”
for a 32bit machine.
