SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install the LAN Manager MS-DOS Enhanced Workstation over the network on a computer with MS-DOS version 6.22, the following error message appears:

The DOS version on the bootable disk is not supported by LAN Manager 2.2.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:

 Copy the MS-DOS version 6.22 SETVER.EXE file to the root directory of the bootable floppy disk. Use a text editor such as MS-DOS Editor to add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

device= :\setver.exe

where is drive A (the boot drive). Rename the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the bootable floppy disk to another name. For example:

rename autoexec.bat autoexec.otn

 Reboot the computer. Type the following at the command prompt:

setver nsetup.exe 5.00

 Rename the AUTOEXEC.OTN file to AUTOEXEC.BAT. Reboot the computer and install the LAN Manager MS-DOS Enhanced Workstation over the network again.</li></ol>
