Before you can run the Setup program to install the Microsoft Network Client, you must download the appropriate disk image files, and create floppy disk installation sets of the Network Client files. For MS-DOS based clients, there are five files that you must download. For OS/2 based clients, there are four files that you must download. Each file is a self- extracting zip file that expands into a disk image of one of the installation disks.

Within the respective MS-DOS and OS/2 client download areas, the file naming convention is

DSKx-n.EXE (for MS-DOS based clients) OS23-n.EXE (for OS/2 based clients)

where x specifies the size of the floppy disk (3 for 3.5-inch 1.44 MB floppies, or 5 for 5.25-inch 1.2 MB floppies), and n specifies the disk number (1 to 5 for MS-DOS based client, 1 to 4 for OS/2 based client).

To create a floppy disk installation set, use the following syntax to copy each of the disk images to an external drive

-d

at the command prompt. The -d indicates that the directories on DSK3-1.EXE are to be copied onto a disk located in the B drive. For example, to create a 3.5-inch (1.44 MB) floppy disk of DSK3-1.EXE, type the following:

DSK3-1.EXE -d b:
