SYMPTOMS
========
MS-DOS 6.2 Step-Up and MS-DOS Uninstall may exit with the following error
message:
Error reading file DOSSETUP.INI
CAUSE
=====
This error occurs when MS-DOS Step-Up or Uninstall cannot find DOSSETUP.INI or
UPDATE.INI. This problem can occur if the files are missing, corrupted, or not
located on the same drive as SETUP.EXE (or UNINSTAL.EXE).
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, check the following:
- Ensure all the MS-DOS 6.2 Step-Up files are on the same disk.
- If you are uninstalling MS-DOS, ensure the Uninstall disk is in drive A.
- Ensure MS-DOS can read the disk. For example, type "copy /b a:*.* nul"
(without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press
ENTER.
- If you downloaded MS-DOS Step-Up from one of the electronic services, try
downloading it again.
