SUMMARY
This article contains tips on installing a copy of Microsoft Windows on a shared network drive.

For complete instructions when setting up a server installation of Windows 3.0, refer to the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide&quot; for version 3.0.

MORE INFORMATION
The following information may be helpful if you are installing a copy of Windows on a shared network drive, so that it can be run by multiple users.


 * All files in the shared Windows directory must be set to read-only. This can be done from within the Windows File Manager, or by using the MS-DOS ATTRIB command (see your MS-DOS manual). If this is not done, users may get sharing violations while running Windows.

NOTE: On a Novell network, the share directory access rights under group &quot;everyone&quot; can be set to read and file scan only to achieve the same result.
 * Make sure that the shared Windows directory does not contain any .INI or .GRP files, or a copy of WIN.COM. Setup will create these files in the user's personal Windows directory.
