SETUP/N Does Not See OEM0000x.INF Files in Shared Directory

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Setup does not recognize OEM0000x.INF files if they are in the shared network directory. To allow Setup to recognize these files and install third-party drivers, the files must be in the user's individual Windows directory (where WIN.COM and WIN.INI are stored).

OEMSETUP.INF files are correctly recognized in either shared or user directories.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
