PRB: SDK INSTALL Having Problems Opening INSTALL.INF

ID: Q93921

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SYMPTOMS

The following error message occurs when attempting to install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK):

Install is having problems opening INSTALL.INF
Please check to see that this file is available.

CAUSE

INSTALL searches the current directory for INSTALL.INF; therefore, it must be run from the floppy drive containing the install disk.

Note: the same problem occurs when INSTALL.INF resides on a CD-ROM disc and that drive is not the current drive.

RESOLUTION

Run INSTALL from the floppy or CD-ROM drive. For example, type

a: <CR> install

rather than:

a:install
