SNA Server 2.11 Refresh Does Not Install From Floppy Disk (148764)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 SP1, when used with:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
This article was previously published under Q148764 SYMPTOMS
The SNA Server 2.11 Refresh does not install from a floppy disk that
contains the image files from the \I386\Disks directory on the SNA Server
2.11 compact disc.
CAUSE
This problem occurs due to the following:
- The file size of CHK.SUM increases. Therefore, CHK.SUM and the other
image files exceed the capacity limit of the 1.44 MB floppy disk during
the installation.
- Other floppy disks from the disk set exceed the capacity limit of 1.44
MB if you also include SNASP1.HLP and SNASP1.RTF.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:
- Use Xcopy to copy the contents of the \I396\Disks directory to a
temporary directory on the hard disk drive. For example, type the
following at the MS-DOS Command Prompt:
xcopy <Compact Disc>:\I386\Disks\*.* <Drive>:\<Temp Dir> /s - Delete SNASP1.HLP and SNASP1.RTF from the temporary directory.
- Delete CHK.SUM from the \I386\Disks\Disk1 directory.
- Create a SNASP1.HLP dummy file (file with zero bytes).
- Create a CHK.SUM dummy file.
- Run SNADISK.CMD to create new floppy disks.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.11
Service Pack 1. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
