Maintenance Mode Setup: Windows 3.x Client Installs to Wrong Directory

• 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.
