Chapter 3 Installing LAN Manager on MS-DOS Workstations 43
Modifying the Microsoft Windows SETUP.INF File
When installing an MS-DOS workstation, the Setup program checks to
see if Microsoft Windows version 3.x is installed on the computer. If
the Microsoft Windows operating system is installed, Setup looks for
and modifies various files, including the Windows SETUP.INF file.
If Microsoft Windows is installed locally (on the computer’s hard disk),
the installation proceeds normally. However, if the network version of
Microsoft Windows is used, Setup cannot locate the Windows
SETUP.INF file on the computer’s hard disk and displays an error
message stating that it cannot locate the Windows SETUP.INF file.
The actions you will take to remedy this condition differ, depending on
whether your version of Windows is 3.0 or 3.1.
Û For Microsoft Windows version 3.0
1. Choose the OK button to acknowledge the error message.
2. Complete the LAN Manager installation.
3. After installation, update the network Windows SETUP.INF file.
Locate the Windows SETUP.INF file in the Windows directory on
your network where the Windows files are stored. Add the following
at the end of the [networks] section of the file, and then save the
modified Windows SETUP.INF file:
Û For Microsoft Windows version 3.1
• Choose the OK button to acknowledge the error message and
complete the LAN Manager installation.
No further action is necessary, since the Windows 3.1 SETUP.INF
file, as originally distributed, already contains lines necessary for
proper LAN Manager operation.
