SUMMARY
The Dsklayt2 utility in the Microsoft Setup Toolkit for Windows does not support duplicate filenames in the source tree. If two or more files have the same name, Dsklayt2 may place more than one of these files into the root directory of the same setup disk. If this happens, Dsklayt2 generates a warning message when it creates a disk image for the disk that warns that the first file is overwritten.

If two or more files in the source tree for an application share the same name, rename all but one of the files before running the Dsklayt utility. Use the Rename Copied File option in the Dsklayt utility to have the filenames changed back to their original names when SETUP.EXE or _MSTEST.EXE copies the files from the setup disk to the destination disk.

When Dsklayt2 creates a compressed file, it adds an underscore (_) to the end of the file extension, replacing the third character if necessary. Therefore, Dsklayt2 does not support compressed files if the names of the uncompressed files differ only in the third character of the file extension.
