Setup Shouldn't Allow User to Attempt CDSHARE in Root

 Last reviewed: May 8, 1997
Article ID: Q102516
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Setup cannot complete copying files to the share.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the administrator attempts to run Setup to a destination share that is the root of a FAT drive on a network machine. Setup requires a subdirectory for a destination, and when the file limit for a root is reached, the copy fails.

RESOLUTION

Always specify the remote share destination to be a subdirectory on the network share. Subdirectories have no limit to the number of files you can create.
