Deskscan II to paperpor deluxe 6.1

[John Callaway]

I recently installed deskcan II 2.9 software for my flatbed Scanjet
5P. I then installed Paperport deluxe 6.1. When I use the twain
feature in paperport to scan in a document I get an error message that
it cannot find the deskscan.exe file. It tells me to look in the
Hpds23.ini file (which is in the windows root directory on c drive)
for the correct path for the deskscan.exe. In the Hpds23.ini file,it
directs it where to look, with the command, "ExePath=D:\PROGRAM
FILES\DESKSCAN\DESKSCAN.EXE"
were the file is located. It seems like the computer is to fast or
somehow is looking past the command line in the Hpds23.ini file. My
question: Is there a command/character that I should insert into the
Hpds23.ini file to ensure that the computer will execute the
descan.exe file? Would I possibly need to relocate the deskscan.exe or
Hpds23.ini file to another location where it might be read/executed
by the computer?

I have DeskScan 2.9, old IIcx scanner.
Hpds23.ini is NOT in my root (Win98SE)
It is in C:\windows
You didn't mention OS.
This is the only incidence of this file on my machine.

simply says:

[General]
ExePath=C:\DESKSCAN\DESKSCAN.EXE
AppVer=2.9

Which is indeed where my DeskScan 2.9 is installed.

So, is that really where it is?
If so, how did you get it to install there.
Always installs in C:\deskscan, no way to change it.
