SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to run the Pss.bat file, you receive error messages.



CAUSE
The command to run the manual installation of Automap Streets version 4.0 does not contain a backslash (\) after the CD-ROM drive letter.

When you attempt to run the Pss.bat file with the incorrect command line syntax, you may receive a number of potential error messages.



RESOLUTION
Do not include the backslash after the CD-ROM drive letter.

CAUTION: Do not use the installation steps if you are using Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT. The manual installation uses a batch file that copies Windows 3.x system files onto your hard drive. Allowing the system files to be overwritten in Windows 95 or Windows NT may cause improper system performance.



MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: This information assumes c is the letter of your hard drive and d is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.

If you type pss at and MS_DOS command prompt from the Mssetup\Manual folder located on the CD-ROM drive, the following explanatory information screen appears:   Microsoft Automap Streets manual installation batch file

Where:

(destination path) Is the path to where you want to install Microsoft Automap Streets.

(windows path)     Is your Windows path. This must be correct! There is no check to make sure it exists.

(cd path)          Is the drive letter of your CD-ROM followed by                       a :. e.g. type: pss c:\automap c:\windows d:

Notice how the command line entry does not contain a \ after the d:
