1.21

OS/2

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: OS29012020

SYMPTOMS The DDINSTAL utility only allows device driver files to be installed from drive A to drive C; it does not allow device driver files to be installed from drive B.

CAUSE The DDINSTAL utility assumes that the device driver files are always located on drive A.

RESOLUTION To workaround this problem while using OS/2 version 1.21, copy the following files to a floppy disk in drive A, and specify the correct drive in the :FILES section of the INSTALL.DDP file:

INSTALL.SYS INSTALL.DDP For example, the INSTALL.DDP file might contain the following:

device=d:\install.sys :FILES install.sys d:\install.sys Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in OS/2 version 1.21. This problem was corrected in OS/2 version 1.3.
