SYMPTOMS

When you try to install Microsoft WebTV for Windows by using the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel, you may receive the following error message:

The Windows 98 CD was not found in your CD-ROM drive.


CAUSE

This issue can occur for any of the following reasons:

  1. Your Windows 98 Second Edition CD-ROM is not currently in your CD-ROM drive.


  2. You installed Windows 98 Second Edition from a flat folder on your local hard disk. The files you need to install Intel Intercast are in the Windows 98 Second Edition CD-ROM Drivers\WebTV\Intercast folder. If you only copy the Win98 folder to your local hard disk, Setup is not able to locate the appropriate files.


  3. You installed Windows 98 Second Edition from a network share, and you are not currently connected to this network share.



RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, use the appropriate method:

  2. Click Drivers, click WebTV, click Intercast, click the Iit22020.exe program, and then follow the instructions on the screen until the installation finishes.
