WinLogin Err Msg: STFSETUP.INF Has Missing...

 Last reviewed: November 23, 1994
Article ID: Q90169
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11
  • Microsoft WinLogin version 1.0.

SYMPTOMS

If the STFSETUP.INF file is corrupt or has an extra character in front of either the [SHELL COMMANDS] or [SOURCE MEDIA DESCRIPTIONS] sections, you will receive the error: 

   C:\MS-SETUP.T\STFSETUP.INF has missing or mis-formed
   [Source Media Descriptions]
This error can also be caused if either of these section names are missing from the file.

RESOLUTION

To correct this error, edit the file with the Windows Notepad and either delete the extra character(s) or add the missing section names as needed.

MORE INFORMATION

This error appears at the first screen when first installing WinLogin. The ADMIN.WRI file that comes with WinLogin mentions editing this file to add customized options, such as adding filenames to the [FALLBACKFILES] section. It would be very possible to add a character in front of the [SHELL COMMANDS] section while editing this file.

This information applies to version 1.0 of Microsoft WinLogin. For information about ordering Microsoft WinLogin, call the Microsoft Sales Information Center (MSIC) at (800) 426-9400, or mail the form supplied with the Windows Resource Kit (WRK) for the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1.
