- No. Otherwise we need more information on version of OS/2, was it pre-
- installed, have you ever tried the SPP before, etc.?
-
- Anyway, let me tell you this story. The README file says you can boot the
- first disk or run a program from an OS2 command line. I had installed some
- software that overwrote my kernel and a few other things with versions newer
- than GA but older than the SPP. So I reran the SPP from the OS2 command
- line and it told me that the same thing you got--no files to be
- updated.
-
- Well, I knew this was not the case, but it allowed me to continue, then
- asked me to reboot with disk 1 of the SPP, at which point it proceeded to
- update the 8 or so files that had been overwritten.
-
- So, that error message isn't necessarily the end of the matter.
