 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS
During the text-mode portion of Windows 2000 setup, the Txtsetup.sif file is placed in three locations on the hard disk:


 * C:\Txtsetup.sif
 * C:\$win_nt$.~ls\Txtsetup.sif
 * C:\$win_nt$\~bt\Txtsetup.sif

This file contains information used for the installation.

CAUSE
Setup uses all three copies of the Txtsetup.sif file during various parts of the installation process. The files do not remain on the computer after Setup is finished.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
Note that drive C may not always contain all three copies of the file, depending on the location in which Windows 2000 Setup writes temporary files. This is usually the partition with the greatest amount of free space.
