The first file not copied is Micros~1.url. This error message usually occurs after about 20 percent of the program has been installed. Setup will continue, and Flight Simulator will be able to start and fly OK. However, certain features will not be available because of the missing files. CAUSE ===== Flight Simulator for Windows 95 uses long file names. Real-mode CD-ROM drivers have a difficult time reading long file names. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this issue, remove the real-mode CD-ROM drivers and replace them with Windows 95/98 protected mode CD-ROM drivers. MORE INFORMATION ================ Windows protected mode drivers should be available from the CD-ROM drive manufacturer. Some protected mode CD-ROM drivers are available in Windows 95/98. For help with loading protected mode drivers, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q151634 Protected-Mode CD-ROM Drive support in Windows 95 A modified batch file for Setup has been distributed via the Internet and other online services.
