Error Message During Setup of Noncritical Changes

ID: Q174927

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

At the end of the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Edition installation, the following error message is displayed:

One or more minor errors occurred installing Windows NT. The errors will
not prevent Windows NT from running. After Windows NT starts, you can
check the Setup log file (<systemroot>\setuplog.txt) for more
information. Would you like to view the log file now?
NOTE: <systemroot> is the drive and path into which Windows NT was installed.

The log file displays the following information: 


   Information:
   Setup configured the system to place a xxMB pagefile on drive C:

   Information:
   Crashdump was enabled.

NOTE: xx is the size of the pagefile in megabytes.


CAUSE

Crashdump writes the entire contents of memory to the system paging file. When the system restarts, Windows NT copies the dumped memory contents from the paging file to a file called Memory.dmp through the Savedump utility.


RESOLUTION

This message is for informational purposes only and is provided to give you the opportunity to view the log file.

To implement the fix, copy the updated syssetup.dll file from the service pack to the Windows NT distribution directory used for performing the unattended installations.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION

Additional options for the placement and naming of the Memory.dmp file may be changed by using the System tool in Control Panel.
