DOCUMENT:Q84942 05-NOV-1999 [win95x] TITLE :ZEOS OEM Windows 3.1 Causes Error on Network Install PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.1,3.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== During a network installation (SETUP /A) of the ZEOS OEM version of Windows 3.1, the following error message may appear: Setup is unable to copy file X:\...\MOUSE.DRV This file already exists in the destination directory and is marked as read-only. You must remove the read-only attributes from all the files in your Windows directory in order to successfully complete Windows Setup. CAUSE ===== This error is generated because ZEOS puts a second, uncompressed, mouse driver (MOUSE.DRV) on Disk 2 of the Windows 3.1 setup disks. Since Setup marks these files as read-only, it is unable to copy the second mouse driver file (MOUSE.DRV). ZEOS puts a second instance of the mouse driver on Disk 2 to allow it to be copied without having to use the Expand utility. RESOLUTION ========== To correct this problem, delete or rename either MOUSE.DRV or MOUSE.DR_. They are the same file, except the MOUSE.DR_ file is compressed. Additional query words: administrator /n expall decompressed 3.10 3.11 ====================================================================== Keywords : Technology : kbWin3xSearch kbZNotKeyword3 kbWin310 kbWin311 Version : WINDOWS:3.1,3.11 ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
