PC NTMMTA: Doc Err: No WINNT Directory Created at Setup

ID: Q135732

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT, version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

The following text has been documented incorrectly in the Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT Server "Administrator's Guide":

Item 1

In Chapter 1 on page 4, the following text is displayed:

The executable files will be placed in subdirectories called EXTERNAL.NT, DIRSYNC.NT, and WINNT in the directory you specify. By default, they are installed in C:\MAILEXE\EXTERNAL.NT, C:\MAILEXE\DIRSYNC.NT, and C:\MAILEXE\WINNT.

This should read:

The executable files will be placed in subdirectories named EXTERNAL.NT and DIRSYNC.NT in the directory you specify. By default, they are installed in C:\MAILEXE\EXTERNAL.NT and C:\MAILEXE\DIRSYNC.NT.

Item 2

The following text appears in the section "Copying the Files to the Windows NT Directory":

After Setup is complete, you need to copy the files into the Windows NT directory structure. Assuming Windows NT is in the C:\WINNT35 directory, do the following:

To copy the files into the Windows NT directory
Type xcopy c:\mailexe\winnt c:\winnt35 /s

The information regarding the WINNT directory should be removed or a note added that states that this directory is not created during the NT MMTA installation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed these to be documentation errors in version 3.5 of Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT "Administrator's Guide." These errors were corrected in a reprint of the manuals in July 1995.
