How to: Install the Windows 95 Service Pack 1 Upgrade.
Solution:
Load Windows 95 Service Pack 1 to update Windows 95 to version 4.00.950a.
NOTE 1: Most updates in the Microsoft Windows 95 Service Pack 1 address a specific problem or configuration. These updates have previously been available to download from various electronic locations.
NOTE 2: The Windows 95 OLE32 update addresses file-management behavior in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95. Because of the way these applications use OLE for file storage, files created by these applications may contain extraneous data from previously deleted files. This data is not visible when using application.
NOTE 3: The update is designed to solve specific issues. If these issues do not apply to a particular computer configuration, it may not be necessary to install the update on that computer.
1) To install the Windows 95 Service Pack 1 on a single computer:
a) Quit any applications that are currently running. If the 'Microsoft Plus! System Agent' is being used, right-click the 'System Agent' icon on the toolbar, and click 'Suspend System Agent'.
b) Insert the Windows 95 Service Pack 1 CD-ROM.
c) Double-click the Setup.exe file, and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
NOTE 1: Do not click 'Cancel' during Setup. Doing so may cause Setup to fail. This may be true even though a message is displayed stating that the system was updated successfully.
NOTE 2: If 'Cancel' is clicked during Setup by mistake, run Setup again. If Windows asks 'Do you want to overwrite the file?', click 'Yes to All'.
NOTE 3: When the Setup program is completed, the version of Windows will be updated to version 4.00.950a.
2) To remove the update from a single computer:
a) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.

NOTE 1: Removing the update from the computer will remove all installed updates EXCEPT the 'Password List' update. The system version will remain version 4.00.950a. The original 'Password List' version cannot read the new password list. In order to uninstall the service pack completely, re-install Windows 95 from the original upgrade disks over the existing Windows 95 installation.
NOTE 2: During the update, the service pack version of Net.exe is also copied to Netpwl.exe. This file can be used if Net.exe is overwritten. Net.exe may be overwritten by network set up while adding or removing network components.
NOTE 3: The Windows 95 Service Pack 1 includes an update to 'Microsoft Exchange' that enables users to use shared (public) folders on the post office with 'Microsoft Mail'. If 'Microsoft Mail' is being used, then after the service pack updates have been installed, it is necessary to carry out the following procedure in order to use shared folders. It is not necessary to carry out this procedure if the 'Microsoft Mail' service in 'Microsoft Exchange' is not being used.
3) To reconfigure 'Microsoft Exchange' to use shared folders (where 'Microsoft Mail' is used):
a) In the 'Admin\Componts\Updates\Exchupd folder, run:
Exchupd.exe
