Err Msg: Setup Error 108 or 110 During TCP/IP-32 Installation

• Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11
• Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

If you had a previous installation of Microsoft TCP/IP-32 on Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, one of the following error messages may appear when you attempt to re-install Microsoft TCP/IP-32:

Setup Error 108: Could not create or open the PROTOCOL.INI file.

Setup Error 110: Could not find or open WIN.INI.

CAUSE

When you install TCP/IP-32, the OEMSETUP.INF file is copied to the SYSTEM directory and renamed OEMx.INF (where x is a number). The OEMx.INF file is then used by Setup to perform the necessary transactions for installation. The above error messages may appear due to earlier (beta) versions of the OEMx.INF file being in the SYSTEM directory.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem:

1. Remove any previous versions of Microsoft TCP/IP-32.



2. Quit Network Setup and restart your system.



3. Rename any OEMx.INF (where x is a number) files that are in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.



4. Start Network Setup again and install Microsoft TCP/IP-32, following the installation instructions in the manual.
