Q100314
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1
SYMPTOMS
After installing the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK), the Microsoft Tools groups created by the MS-DOS 6 installation program is no longer available.
CAUSE
When you install Microsoft Windows 3.1 SDK, the installation program does not correctly handle the comments in the PROGMAN.INI file. As a result, Microsoft Tools group is not available in Program Manager.
The Windows 3.1 SDK installation program uses an exiting group number when the PROGMAN.INI file contains comments made by the MS-DOS 6 Upgrade Setup program.
For example, if you have the following [Groups] section in your PROGMAN.INI file before you install Windows 3.1 SDK
Group1=C:\WINDOWS\MAIN.GRP Group2=C:\WINDOWS\ACCESSOR.GRP Group3=C:\WINDOWS\GAMES.GRP ;======== MS-DOS 6 Setup Modification - Begin ======== Group4=C:\DOS\WNTOOLS.GRP ;======== MS-DOS 6 Setup Modification - End ========
you have the following [Groups] section after you install the Windows 3.1 SDK:
Group1=C:\WINDOWS\MAIN.GRP Group2=C:\WINDOWS\ACCESSOR.GRP Group3=C:\WINDOWS\GAMES.GRP Group4=C:\WINDEV\SDKTOOL1.GRP Group4=C:\DOS\WNTOOLS.GRP ;======== MS-DOS 6 Setup Modification - End ========
As a result, the Microsoft Tools (WNTOOLS.GRP) is not available in Program Manager.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, edit the PROGMAN.INI file and change the "Group<n>=" value for the WNTOOLS.GRP line. For example, if you have "Group4=C:\WINDEV\SDKTOOL1.GRP" and "Group4=C:\DOS\WNTOOLS.GRP", change the second "Group4" to Group5, or another unused value.
