Unable to Install Personal Web Server

• Microsoft Personal Web Server versions 1.0, 1.0a, 4.0 for Windows 95
• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install Personal Web Server, you may receive error messages stating that the following files cannot be found: Wsock.vxd, Msshrui.dll, Rpcrt4.dll, Secur32.dll, and Svrapi.dll.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you install Windows over a network. When you do this, the Layout.inf file refers to the network installation point, but the Setup program for Personal Web Server does not use the network location for the files.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, modify the Layout.inf file:

1. Open the C:\Windows\INF\Layout.inf file with any text editor (such as Notepad).



2. Place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of each line that contains any of the following files:




Wsock.vxd
Msshrui.dll
Rpcrt4.dll
Secur32.dll
Svrapi.dll

3. Save and close the file.



4. Install Personal Web Server again.
