-
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
-
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install the Intel TokenExpress ISA or EISA network
interface cards (NICs), from either the \DRVLIB\NETCARD\X86\TKXP16 or \I386
subdirectories on the Windows NT 3.5 CD, one of the following error
messages appears:
A critical error has occurred.
The INF OEMNAD0 is missing the referenced file
description section [Files-TKXP32].
Check for missing lines.
This error prevents the operation from continuing. You may retry
the action. If this fails, or you choose Exit, the operation has
not been completed.
-OR-
A critical error has occurred.
The INF OEMNAD2 is missing the referenced file
description section [Files-TKXP16].
Check for missing lines.
This error prevents the operation from continuing. You may retry
the action. If this fails, or you choose Exit, the operation has
not been completed.
CAUSE
There is an error in the OEMSETUP.INF file included with the Intel
Token Express 16/4 driver.
WORKAROUND
You can complete the installation of the NIC by modifying the OEMSETUP.INF
file:
- Copy the files from the Windows NT 3.5 CD DRVLIB\NETCARD\X86\TKXP32
directory to a floppy disk. Keep the same directory structure on the
floppy disk.
- Remove the read-only attribute on OEMSETUP.INF.
- Run Windows NT Notepad and open the OEMSETUP.INF file on the floppy
disk.
- On the fifth line from the bottom, change [Files-OcTk32] to
[Files-TKXP32]. If you are using a TokenExpress 16/4 NIC, change this to
[Files-TkXp16].
- Save the OEMSETUP.INF and save it.
- Run Control Panel and add the Intel TokenExpress Server adapter. When it
asks for the location of the OEMSETUP.INF file, use the path to the
floppy disk with the modified OEMSETUP.INF file.
- Continue with the normal installation of the NIC.
NOTE: Because the driver used for the Olicom Token-Ring adapter is the same
one used for the Intel Token Express adapter, you may be able to work
around this problem by installing the Olicom Token-Ring driver.
