Running Setup for MSDN Disc 4 may result in a general protection (GP) fault or an Application Execution Error, and/or may hang your machine.

2. Perform a clean boot with the following minimal AUTOEXEC.BAT and

CONFIG.SYS files as follows:

SYSTEM.INI LOAD= RUN=

Remove all icons from the Startup program group. 3. Use the standard Microsoft Windows supplied video driver (that is,  reinstall the VGA driver). 4. Start Windows in standard mode (using the WIN /S command). 5. Start File Manager, access the CD drive, and run the SETUP.EXE file

on the root directory of the MSDN CD-ROM disc.

Workaround 2
Use the manual Setup instructions.

Follow the manual installation instructions included in MANSETUP.TXT in the root directory of the Developer Network CD-ROM.
