SYMPTOMS
When you advertise a package to upgrade a client from Microsoft Windows 95 to Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) by using the W95to98.inf file, you may receive the following error message during the upgrade process:

The file 'Driver21.cab' on 11 cannot be

found.

Setup could not find a file on the specified

path. If the path appears below, make sure it

is correct. Click OK to try copying again.

You can click any of the available buttons (OK, Skip File, Browse, or Cancel), but the upgrade is not completed successfully.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Driver21.cab file is not included in Windows 98 SE.



WORKAROUND
Copy the Driver21.cab file from the original version of Windows 98 to the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) package source directory. The upgrade can now be completed.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
