Installing Windows 3.0 Into a Directory With an Extension (59689)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q59689 SYMPTOMS
If you install Microsoft Windows 3.0 in a directory with an extension,
such as C:\HOME.DIR, Windows Setup does not add the directory to your
path.
WORKAROUND
You have the option of manually adding the directory to your path, but we
do not recommend installing Windows 3.0 in a directory with an extension.
Many applications do not correctly handle such a directory and may not
function properly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.00. This
problem does not occur in later versions of the product.
