SUMMARY
When a Setup error message contains an error code, it also includes some text indicating what Setup was trying to do, for example, copying a file. The text of the error message indicates whether the error is fatal or not. In some nonfatal cases, Setup may be performing an operation (such as copying a file) that is needed to run Windows. Other times the error may prevent some specific feature of Windows from operating properly.

In many cases, the error code is an MS-DOS extended error code. These error codes are between 0 and 100. Setup-specific error codes have two different formats, depending on whether the error occurs during the character (MS-DOS) mode or Windows graphical user interface (GUI) mode portion of Setup. The character mode Setup specific error numbers are in the format &quot;Snnn&quot;, where &quot;nnn&quot; is any three digits. The GUI mode error numbers are codes greater than 200.
