- Subject: Windows v3.0 Error "Unknown Copy Failure"
- Date: August 2, 1990

-
- PROBLEM: While installing Windows 3.0 on the network, the user
- receives an "Unknown copy failure" after unexpanding the
- windows files with EXPALL.BAT and after running SETUP /N
- (Network). The users we have seen the problem with are
- usually running Arcnet.
-
- SOLUTION: You can use the SETUP /I (ignore) /N (network) or you can
- change the conflicting address/interrupt of the interface
- card.
-
- COMMENTS: Windows evidently does some type of auto configuration to
- see what IRQs and base I/O addresses are being used. The
- default base I/O address of Arcnet cards (2E0h) can conflict
- with other addresses (in this case a video card) and cause
- the windows auto configuration not to function properly;
- thus, causing the error. This is not just specific to
- Arcnet; any type of interrupt, base I/O, or memory address
- could also cause this to occur.
-
- (X) This information was verified verbally.
