OL97: DocErr: Olreadme.txt File Regarding Making Floppies

ID: Q193553

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

Section 1.3 of the Olreadme.rtf file on the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Client CD indicates that you can make Outlook client installation floppy disks. The instructions in the Olreadme.rtf file are incorrect.

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: The information from the Olreadme.rtf file below is incorrect. The CAB files described in step 2 do not exist on the Client CD for 386 computer files. They only exist in the \Support\Alpha and \Support\Alpha.SP1 folders, which cannot be used to make floppy diskettes on 386 computers.

Here is the text from the Olreadme.txt file:

 1.3  Setting Up Microsoft Outlook for Windows 95 and Windows NT

 1.3.1  Setting Up Microsoft Outlook from Disks

 Microsoft Outlook software can be set up on portable computers using
 disks. Once you have copied the client software to preformatted disks, you
 can set up Microsoft Outlook on a client computer by clicking Setup.exe.
 The Setup program will prompt you to insert additional disks when
 necessary.

 To create a set of Setup disks

 1. From the Microsoft Outlook compact disc, select the subdirectory for
 the language you want, and then select the directory for the client
 platform on which you will be setting up Microsoft Outlook.

 2. Copy the Exchng1.cab to your first disk, along with the other non-.cab
 files. Then copy Exchng2.cab to your second disk, and so on, until you
 have copied all the client files to disks.
