The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY
When you use the automated Setup feature to install Windows 3.1, the machine type appears as an &quot;MS-DOS System&quot; in the System Information screen, regardless of the machine type specified in the SETUP.SHH file. However, Windows does set up properly and the correct machine type installs. (You can verify this by running the maintenance mode of Setup after installation.)

MORE INFORMATION
The automated Setup feature of Windows 3.1 allows you to set up a large number of identical machines more efficiently. The choices that you would normally make during installation default to the value specified in the SETUP.SHH file. All system information values specified in the SETUP.SHH file appear correctly during installation except for the machine type. You can accept the configuration and continue, and the correct machine type (the one specified in the SETUP.SHH) is installed.

To verify that Windows was installed correctly, run the maintenance mode of Setup after installation.
