Error Installing WFW Client from DEC OEM NT Server 3.51 CD (153109)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q153109

SYMPTOMS

You want to install the Windows for Workgroups client from a network boot disk. You run the Network Client Administration to make a network installation startup disk. When you try to run the installation from the Clients\WFW\Netsetup directory on the Windows NT Server 3.51 compact disc, the following error appears:
Path Not Found

This occurs when you are using the origianl equipment manufacturer(OEM) version of the Windows NT Server 3.51 compact disc from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).

CAUSE

The Autoexec.bat file created on the network installation disk contains the following entries: 

   net use z: \\NTSERVERNAME\Clients
   echo Running Setup...
   z:\wfw\netsetup\setup.exe /#


The \Wfw\Netsetup directory located under the share "Clients" is valid on a Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51 compact disc that comes directly from Microsoft, but the directory does not exist on the OEM version compact disc from DEC.

WORKAROUND

Replace the OEM version of the Windows NT Server V3.51 compact disc on your network server with the Microsoft compact disc, which contains the Windows for Workgroups clients directory.
