Paradise Setup Copies OEM Version of SETUP.INF to Windows

ID: Q68733

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

Paradise instructs you to copy a SETUP.INF file from the Paradise driver's disk to the WINDOWS directory, and then install the appropriate Paradise video driver. These instructions are correct. However, once the Paradise video driver is installed, the SETUP.INF in the Windows directory (copied from the Paradise disk) MUST be deleted. The original Windows SETUP.INF file should still reside in the SYSTEM subdirectory under the WINDOWS directory.

MORE INFORMATION

The problem is caused by the Paradise SETUP.INF file, which only contains information concerning the Paradise drivers. Windows Setup uses SETUP.INF when configuring Windows for use with different hardware devices. By deleting Paradise's SETUP.INF file from the WINDOWS directory, Windows Setup is able to locate the Windows SETUP.INF file located in the SYSTEM subdirectory.
