Installing Voyager Laserdisc Drivers into Windows 3.1

ID: Q86276

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

If you try to install the Voyager, Inc. laserdisc (LD) multimedia drivers from floppy disks into the Microsoft Windows version 3.1 from the Drivers icon in Control Panel, you may receive the following error message:

oemsetup.inf
Cannot find this file.

Please check to ensure the correct path and filename are given.

RESOLUTION

According to Voyager technical support, the drivers should be installed manually as follows:

Copy the appropriate driver file for the LD player to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory. Listed below are the filenames:


    - Pioneer 6000A driver            mcivp6ka.drv
    - other Pioneer LD players        mcivpion.drv
    - all Sony LD players             mcivsony.drv

Place the following line in the [MCI] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
Videodisc=<driver name> COMx:
<driver name> is the file copied to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. COMx: is the COM port where the LD player is connected.

After making this change, the MCI Voyager should appear as an installed driver under the Drivers icon in Control Panel.

Multiple LD players can be used on the same computer (but different COM ports) when multiple lines are added to the [MCI] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. For example, with a Pioneer LD player on COM1 and a Sony LD player on COM2, the following entries would be placed in the [MCI]:


   [MCI]
   Videodisc=mcivpion.drv COM1
   Videodisc=mcivsony.drv COM2
