Control Panel/Setup Does Not Recognize OEMSETNT.INF

ID: Q129820

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

The Windows NT Device Driver Kit (DDK) states that OEMSETNT.INF is a valid name for a Windows NT OEMSETUP file. However, if you update a network component using Control Panel, Windows NT Setup does not look for OEMSETNT.INF and results in the following error:

Error is: "INF file a:\oemsetup.inf does not exist"

OEMSETNT.INF is recognized by Setup only during original installation.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, rename OEMSETNT.INF to OEMSETUP.INF.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1 and 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
