Maintenance Mode Windows Client Installs to Wrong Directory

 Last reviewed: March 18, 1998
Article ID: Q182564
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In maintenance mode setup, the Setup program of SNA Server Windows 3.x client always tries to install to the Sna.win directory. This occurs even if you installed the Windows 3.x client to a directory other than Sna.win.

CAUSE

The maintenance mode setup gets the installation directory from the Snasetup.ini file.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

  1. Copy the SNA Client for Windows 3.x program files from the Clients\win3x directory on the SNA Server CD to your hard disk drive.

  2. Modify the "Destination Path= " parameter in Snasetup.ini to reflect the path where the Windows 3.x client is installed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT SNA Server version 4.0. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
