TITLE :Self-Extracting Files on NTFS Don't Work from Command Prompt
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:ENDUSER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 a directory on an NTFS volume has more than eight characters, you cannot
run any self-extracting files in that directory from a Windows NT command
prompt. Another prompt appears, but the file never self-extracts.
WORKAROUND
==========
You can run the self-extracting file by double-clicking it from File
Manager.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here as it becomes available.
