XCLN: Win16 Silent Mode Setup Fails to Create Profile

ID: Q140954

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

After you modify the Setup.stf and Default.prf files of the Microsoft Exchange client for Windows 3.x network installation share point using the Microsoft Exchange Setup Editor, subsequent attempts to perform workstation installs in silent mode, setup /q, fail to create a default profile but complete without any errors.

CAUSE

The silent mode setup, setup /q, fails to copy Default.prf into the <drive>:\<windir> subdirectory during the file copy phase. The absence of this file prevents Newprof.exe from creating a default profile.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 2.
