SYMPTOMS
While running Setup for Windows version 3.1, you may receive the following error message if the WIN.INI file in the WINDOWS directory has a file size of zero bytes:

Setup Error #S020. Setup is unable to make changes to the Windows configuration file, SYSTEM.INI. This may be due to one or both of the following reasons.


 * Your system does not have the minimum conventional memory required to set up Windows. (See your Setup documentation for memory requirements.)
 * Your SYSTEM.INI file is unusually large (above 32K)

Setup cannot continue. You must quit Setup, free some memory, and then run Setup again.

RESOLUTION
Delete or rename the WIN.INI file in the Windows directory and run Windows Setup again.
