Installing Files on the Server

After you complete all choices for a default setup script, Server-based Setup prompts you to supply the CD Key identification number. You can find the 10-digit CD Key number on the yellow sticker on the Windows 95 compact disc case.

When Server-based Setup has all the information it needs, it installs Windows 95 source files on the selected server, performing the following tasks:

• Windows 95 source files are copied to the server, using the same hierarchical directory structure used when files are copied to the hard disk.
• An MSBATCH.INF file is created on the server, based on the default computer settings. This setup script is used whenever users run Windows 95 Setup from the shared directory on the server without specifying the filename for another setup script.

When Server-based Setup is finished, the server should have the following directory structure (rather than the flat directory structure created by the Windows 3.x setup /a command):

destination directory
   Command
   Config
   Cursors
   Fonts
   Inf
   Media
   Progra~1
      Access~1
      Themic~1
      Micros~1
   Shellnew
   System
      Color
      Iosubsys
      Viewers
      Vmm32

Note Windows 95 source files and other shared system files are marked read-only automatically during installation of the source files. You do not need to use the NetWare FLAG command or any other procedure to set sharable attributes.
