Installing LAN Manager MS-DOS Enhanced with MS-DOS 6.22

• Microsoft LAN Manager, version 2.2

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install the LAN Manager MS-DOS Enhanced Workstation over the network on a computer with MS-DOS version 6.22, the following error message appears:

The DOS version on the bootable disk is not supported by LAN Manager 2.2.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

1. Copy the MS-DOS version 6.22 SETVER.EXE file to the root directory of the bootable floppy disk.



2. Use a text editor such as MS-DOS Editor to add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

   device=<drive>:\setver.exe

   where <drive> is drive A (the boot drive).



3. Rename the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the bootable floppy disk to another name. For example:

   rename autoexec.bat autoexec.otn




4. Reboot the computer.



5. Type the following at the command prompt:

   setver nsetup.exe 5.00




6. Rename the AUTOEXEC.OTN file to AUTOEXEC.BAT.



7. Reboot the computer and install the LAN Manager MS-DOS Enhanced Workstation over the network again.
