 Last reviewed: April 10, 1996
Article ID: Q149715
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you install Windows 95 using a batch file (Msbatch.inf), Setup may pause at the Network dialog box. This can occur even though the "Express=1" entry exists in the Msbatch.inf file.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if the "Display=0" entry is not added to the Msbatch.inf file.

RESOLUTION

Use any text editor (such as Notepad) and add the following line to the [network] section of the Msbatch.inf file: 

   DISPLAY=0

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem does not occur if the Msbatch.inf file was created using Netsetup or Batch.exe, which is the only manner of modifying the Msbatch.inf file that is supported by Microsoft.
