This article was previously published under Q189214



SYMPTOMS
The Readme.txt file in the root directory of the CD-ROM states that to install the Windows 98 Starts Here demo, you should run Autorun.exe from the Win98SH folder.

However, if you run \Win98SH\Autorun.exe, My Computer will open and display the root directory of the C drive. Nothing else will occur.



CAUSE
The autorun.inf file contains errors that cause the Autorun.exe to function incorrectly.



WORKAROUND
From the Win98SH folder, open Start.htm. The demo will now proceed normally.



STATUS
This problem was corrected in the second printing of "Running Microsoft Windows 98."



MORE INFORMATION
The first printing of "Running Microsoft Windows 98" and the second and later printings of "Running Microsoft Windows 98" include different demonstration copies of "Microsoft Windows 98 Starts Here."

The second and later printings include a Setup.exe program in the Win98SH folder. The first printing does not.

The information in this article applies to the first printing of "Running Microsoft Windows 98" only. The second and later printings will have this problem corrected.
