TITLE :NT Err Msg: Cannot Find <APP.EXE> Specified in the WIN.INI...
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
risk.
SYMPTOMS
========
When logging on to Windows NT, the following error message may appear:
Cannot find file <APP.EXE> specified in the WIN.INI (or one of
its components); check to ensure that the path and filename are
correct and that all required libraries are available.
CAUSE
=====
With Windows NT, some 16-bit Windows-based applications may write
specific executable instructions to the Run= and Load= lines in the
WIN.INI file. These entries are translated into Registry entries by
Windows NT. If an application has been deleted from the system, there
may still be information about the program stored in the Windows NT
Registry.
RESOLUTION
==========
To eliminate this error message, remove registry information for
the deleted application. To locate the Run and Load line entries in
the Registry, open the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE). Under the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key, use the following path:
\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
To remove any entries on these lines pertaining to the deleted
application, open the entry and remove any references to the deleted
application.
