DOCUMENT:Q117504 14-DEC-1999 [win95x] TITLE :Prompted to Do Full Installation in Maintenance-Mode Setup PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== After you complete a network setup of Windows 3.1 (SETUP /N) and you later try to perform a maintenance-mode setup for Windows 3.1 from your Windows directory, you are prompted to perform a full installation, and you are not allowed to make any changes to the system settings. CAUSE ===== Three files must be present in the Windows directory in order to run maintenance-mode setup. These files are WIN.COM, SETUP.EXE, and WINVER.EXE. You experience problems if all three files are not present. When you perform a network installation of Windows using the SETUP/N command, the setup routine places a minimal number of Windows files in the local Windows directory. SETUP.EXE, by default, is not installed in the local Windows directory. RESOLUTION ========== To correct this problem, copy SETUP.EXE to the local Windows directory from Disk 1 of the Windows distribution disk set or from the shared Windows directory.
