Err Msg: "Incorrect MS-DOS Version" During Setup (W/QEMM386)

ID: Q85974

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

The Setup program for Microsoft Windows version 3.1 may give the error message

Incorrect MS-DOS Version - You Must Have Version 3.1 or Later

if the system is configured using Quarterdeck QEMM386 versions 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x to load MS-DOS resource files high (using a LOADHI FILES +20 statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file).

MORE INFORMATION

This error is more likely to occur during a network installation because more file handles are being used by the system on bootup.

To correct this problem, try increasing the FILES= statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. Quarterdeck recommends increasing the number of files on the FILES= line in increments of 5 until the error is corrected.

QEMM386 is manufactured by Quarterdeck, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
