SYMPTOMS
When you run Setup with the /E parameter, if Setup cannot modify your SYSTEM.INI file because it cannot find the [386Enh] section header, it does not display any warning or error message.

If the SYSTEM.INI file is not updated with the line DEVICE=C:\DOS\VFINTD.386, you receive the following error message when you start Microsoft Backup for Windows:

Microsoft Backup is not properly installed on this system.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, open your SYSTEM.INI file and add the following line to the [386Enh] section:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\VFINTD.386

Microsoft Backup for Windows should function correctly after you restart Windows.
