Setup Does Not Give You a Directory Choice

 * }

Q62788

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

-

SYMPTOMS
The Windows Setup program goes directly to the system configuration screen without letting you specify a directory when the WINVER.EXE file is in the directory from which you are running Setup.

This is usually only a problem if you are doing a SETUP /N from a network directory that has the WINVER.EXE file on it.

CAUSE
Setup doesn't give you a directory choice because it assumes that Windows is already installed if WINVER.EXE exists.

WORKAROUND
To correct this problem, delete the WINVER.EXE file before you run Setup. The file is re-created in the proper directory after Setup is run.
