PC Win: Setup Does Not Add SHARE.EXE to AUTOEXEC.BAT

ID: Q85199

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 3.2

SYMPTOMS

If you boot a machine from the floppy drive before running the Setup program for version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the boot disk does not get modified.

For instance, the Setup program prompts you to add the line SHARE.EXE to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you want SHARE loaded automatically. However, when you add the line, it is not written to the AUTOEXEC.BAT on the boot disk or the hard drive.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 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.
