DOCUMENT:Q105243 25-OCT-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :APPEND May Prevent Windows NT Setup or MS-DOS Apps May Fail
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If the MS-DOS command 'APPEND C:/DOS' is in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
you are using WINNT.EXE to set up Windows NT, the wrong version of
COMMAND.COM may be copied to the $WIN_NT.~LS directory during the
MS-DOS portion of Windows NT setup. This may cause setup to fail, or
if setup is completed, MS-DOS programs may not be able to run.
RESOLUTION
==========
The use of 'APPEND C:\DOS' in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file may cause one of
the following problems:
- WINNT Setup may fail completely. When rebooting during setup, the
following error message may be displayed:
The system is not fully installed. Please run setup again.
If this occurs, remove all APPEND statements from AUTOEXEC.BAT,
delete the $WIN_NT$.~LS directory, reboot the computer, and run
WINNT again.
-or-
- Setup will be completed. However, applications that run in a
Virtual MS-DOS Machine (VDM) may fail. The error message
"Incorrect DOS Version" may be displayed when you try to run
any MS-DOS application.
If this error message appears, the correct copy of COMMAND.COM can be
manually expanded from the Windows NT floppy disks (disk #20) or from
the i386 directory of the Windows NT CD-ROM. Once the correct version
of COMMAND.COM is expanded, the error message will no longer appear.
