SYMPTOMS
If you install Stacker Electronics Stacker version 2.0 after Windows for Workgroups or Workgroup Connections, you receive the following error message when you restart (reboot) your computer:

PRO0003E: PROTOCOL.INI file open failure. Unable to open PROTOCOL.INI.



CAUSE
Stacker correctly copies PROTMAN.DOS, WORKGRP.SYS, and other system files to the unstacked drive. The problem occurs because the PROTOCOL.INI file needs to be copied to the original directory on the unstacked drive.



WORKAROUND
You need to manually copy the PROTOCOL.INI file to the original directory. After you do this, the PROTOCOL.INI file will be found when the system starts.
