SYMPTOMS
When you click Install after starting Dial-Up Networking for the first time, you may receive the following error message:
If you click Ignore, the error is repeated for all subsequent Microsoft Remote Access Service (RAS) files. If you click Retry, you are still unable to install Dial-Up Networking.
CAUSE
The contents of the Oemnsvra.inf file, which is located in the %SystemRoot%\system32 folder, have been modified.
RESOLUTION
Use the expand command to expand the original Oemnsvra.inf file from the Microsoft Windows NT source CD-ROM into the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. For example, go to the appropriate directory on the CD (i386 for Intel computers), and type the following command:
Drive:\I386>expand Oemnsvra.In_ %SystemRoot%\System32\Oemnsvra.Inf
where Drive is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.
MORE INFORMATION
After you have restored the Oemnsvra.inf file, you are able to complete the installation of Dial-Up Networking.
Note: Be sure to reapply your current Windows NT 4.0 service pack prior to restarting your computer after you complete the Dial-Up Networking installation. For additional information, click the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
