Err Msg: The File Was Not Found. Verify That You Have...ID: Q188183 |
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 98
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to extract a Windows 98 file using the "Extract one file from installation disk" option in the System File Checker tool, you may receive the following error message:
The file was not found. Verify that you have selected the correct 'Restore from' location and try again.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the file you are attempting to extract has a long file name, and its short file name alias is used on the Windows 98 CD-ROM or disks. System File Checker does not recognize long file names when it searches for a file to extract.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, extract the file using its short file name and then rename the file to its long file name. To do so, follow these steps:
- See the "More Information" section later in this article for a list of files that use a short file name alias on the Windows 98 CD-ROM or disks. Note the long file name.
- Click Start, click Run, type sfc.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Click "Extract one file from installation disk," and then type the file's short file name.
- Click Start.
- Click Browse next to the Restore From box, click the folder in which the Windows 98 cabinet files are located, and then click OK.
- Click Browse next to the Save File In box, click the folder in which you want to save the file, and then click OK.
- Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message: The file has been successfully extracted.
- Click Close.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 98.
