Error attempting to update WINFILE.INI file.

Error attempting to update SYSTEM.INI file.

Error attempting to update PROGMAN.INI file.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you are installing the Windows-based version of Microsoft Backup, Microsoft Undelete, or Microsoft Anti-Virus, and your Windows installation is not on drive C.
