Problems with Automated Installation of Msdlc32

Q142412

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

NOTE: Microsoft does not encourage or support changes to .inf files; therefore, Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) does not support the procedure in this article. Although we have tested the following procedure and it appears to function as described, make a backup copy of your .inf file before you proceed.

SYMPTOMS

When you are running an automated Setup, Setup may prompt you for the location of the Msdlc32 files.

CAUSE

When the INF installer is used to add Msdlc32 to an automated Setup, incorrect entries are created in the Layout.inf file.

RESOLUTION

The Layout.inf file, located in the folder containing Netsetup, should read as follows for Msdlc32 to be installed correctly. The Layout.inf file in the Inf and Suwin folders should also be updated.

   NETDLC32.INF=1,INF,11
   DLCNDI.DLL=1,SYSTEM,11
   DLCHLP.EXE=1,,11
   DLC.VXD=1,SYSTEM,11
   DLCAPI.DLL=1,SYSTEM,11
   TRCDLC.EXE=1,SYSTEM,11

If the following entries exist in the Layout.inf file, remove them:

   NETDLC32.INF,,DLC~.I1=1,INF,11
   DLCNDI.DLL,,DLC~.D2=1,SYSTEM,11
   DLC.VXD,,DLC~.V1=1,SYSTEM,11
   DLCAPI.DLL,,DLCAPI~.D1=1,SYSTEM,11
   TRCDLC.EXE,,TRCDLC~.E1=1,SYSTEM,11
   DLCHLP.EXE=1,WINBOOT,11

The following files in the Netsetup\System folder should be renamed as indicated:

   Rename Dlc~.v1 to Dlc.vxd
   Rename Dlcapi~.d1 to Dlcapi.dll
   Rename Trcdlc~.e1 to Trcdlc.exe

NOTE: This represents only the information for Msdlc32. Other changes to the Layout.inf file could cause the automated Setup not to work correctly.
