PC Win: SHARE.EXE Not Added to Floppy Boot Disk

ID: Q112209

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

A diskless workstation (running both Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Mail for Windows from the network) boots from a floppy disk containing the AUTOEXEC.BAT. The Mail for Windows setup program will attempt to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT on drive C (even if no drive C is available) instead of the AUTOEXEC.BAT on drive A (the boot drive).

NOTE: Multiple installations will result in the SHARE.EXE line being added to the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file multiple times.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
