The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you do not install MS-DOS 6 or later Upgrade in the current MS-DOS directory,
your old SETVER entries are not maintained.
CAUSE
=====
When you install MS-DOS Upgrade, Setup updates the current version table
(maintained in SETVER.EXE). If you install MS-DOS Upgrade in a new directory,
Setup cannot update the old version table.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When you install MS-DOS Upgrade to your existing MS-DOS directory, Setup updates
your existing SETVER.EXE version table. When updating SETVER.EXE, Setup does not
overwrite exiting entries, even if the new setver table contains a different
version. For example, if your SETVER.EXE table has a NETX.EXE 5.00 entry, MS-DOS
6.2 Upgrade Setup does not replace it with the new default for NETX.EXE (which
is NETX.EXE 6.00).
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem:
- Update the new SETVER.EXE file, adding the entries that your software
requires.
-or-
- Uninstall MS-DOS and reinstall MS-DOS Upgrade in the original MS-DOS
directory.
