- Well, I'm not sure that this will be of any help but setup.exe
- is THE file that you use to install windows, therefore it should be on
- the first or second disk. If it is compressed it will look like
- setup.ex_. And what I do is copy the expand.exe program that Windows
- uses anyway, copy the archived file and then type "expand setup.ex_".
-
- Like I said, I'm not sure I've been of any help.
