The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q140209 SYMPTOMS
Opening a sample script file with the Windows 95 Batch Setup tool
(Batch.exe) may cause unexpected results. The sample scripts included with
the Windows 95 Resource Kit and on the Windows 95 CD-ROM cannot be opened
in the Batch.exe tool.
CAUSE
The sample scripts are incompatible with Batch.exe. These scripts are
incomplete, and they contain comments explaining the different sections of
the files.
RESOLUTION
You cannot open the sample scripts with Batch.exe. You can open any file
that was created with Batch.exe itself.
MORE INFORMATION
The Readme.txt file in the Scripts folder states that you can use any text
editor or Batch.exe to open the sample scripts. However, if you try to open
a sample script with Batch.exe, you receive error messages.
You can use the Windows 95 Batch Setup tool to help automate Windows 95
Setup by creating an .inf file that is used by Setup. Batch.exe is located
in the Admin\Nettools\Netsetup folder on the Windows 95 CD-ROM. You can
install this tool using the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. You
can also install Batch.exe as part of the Windows 95 Resource Kit.
The sample scripts are located in the Admin\Reskit\Samples\Scripts folder
on the Windows 95 CD-ROM. You can copy these files to your hard disk. They
can also be installed from the Windows 95 Resource Kit.
