The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY
Using the SETUP /N command to set up Microsoft Windows or Windows for Workgroups on a Novell NetWare workstation may fail if the Setup program is directed to an existing directory that has been mapped with the MAP command instead of using the MAP ROOT command.

When the ROOT MAP command is not used, the following error message is displayed:

ERROR #110 Cannot write to WIN.INI...

MORE INFORMATION
If the pre-existing directory is made a &quot;mapped&quot; drive under a directory where the user has no rights, Setup may:

  Return an

unknown file copy error

message.  Attempt to create a &quot;standalone&quot; installation, replete with a system subdirectory. Stop responding (hang) when shifting to the graphics mode.

If the user has no rights in the subdirectory above the destination directory, the MAP ROOT command must be used.

The proper syntax is the same as used with the MAP command.

Example
  MAP ROOT H:=SERVER1\SYS:USER\JIM
