This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.



SUMMARY
Setup, MemMaker, and DoubleSpace need to locate the Windows directory on your hard disk (if you have one).



MORE INFORMATION
To find the Windows directory, Setup looks for the following three files:

WIN.COM

PROGMAN.INI

SYSTEM.INI

When you run SETUP /E to install the optional utilities, Setup checks to make sure your DOS directory is in the path and looks for one of the following files in that directory: DISKCOPY.COM, FORMAT.COM, or SYS.COM.

MemMaker looks for the WINVER.EXE file.

DoubleSpace looks for the following three files:

WINVER.EXE

SYSTEM.INI

WINFILE.INI

Additional query words: 6.00 setup.exe busetup.exe memmaker.exe dblspace dblspace.exe 6.20
