SmallBiz Client Setup Fails With a Blue "L2" Screen

Last reviewed: March 5, 1998
Article ID: Q175204

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server Version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

On a system that has insufficient disk space for the Small Business Server Client setup, the client application installation may cause a blank, blue screen with the symbol "L2" in the top left corner of the screen on Windows 95. Approximately 70 MB of free space are required for installation and temporary files during the setup of the Windows 95 Small Business Server client.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Comclt32.dll file cannot be copied while the operating system is running. The only way to remove this screen is to restart the system and rerun the client setup.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Small Business Server Version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
