Setup Does Not Recognize Supplemental AVGA Driver

 Last reviewed: May 9, 1997
Article ID: Q104093

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Before installing Windows NT, you copy all the files from the following CD-ROM path to a separate installation floppy disk: 

   \drvlib\video\cpq_avga\x86
When you try to install the AVGA driver from the floppy disk, Setup does not recognize the disk. After installing Windows NT, you can run Setup and install the AVGA driver.

CAUSE

The setup information file, TXTSETUP.OEM, has an error. On line 26, it contains the following, incorrect line: 

   d1 = "OEM DISK (VIDEO)", \oem_vid, \

RESOLUTION

Change line 26 of the TXTSETUP.OEM file to the following: 

   d1 = "OEM DISK (VIDEO)", \disk1, \
You can also create a dummy file called OEM_VID on the separate floppy disk. The content does not matter. Setup should proceed as usual with this file available.

STATUS

This problem is fixed in the TXTSETUP.OEM file available in the Windows NT Driver Library (WNTDL).

The Microsoft Windows Driver Library (WDL) is available on online services. For more information about the WDL, see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
