- Microsoft Space Simulator for MS-DOS, version 1.0

SUMMARY
=======
The Setup program for Microsoft Space Simulator may fail when requesting Disk 2.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Setup program may continue prompting for Disk 2 even after it has been
inserted properly.
This will occur if SHARE.EXE is loaded on the system and Microsoft Space
Simulator Disk 1 is write protected.
To correct this problem, disable the write protection on Space Simulator Disk 1.
During the Microsoft Space Simulator installation process, the Setup program
writes information to the SETUP.INI file on Disk 1. If Disk 1 is write
protected, the Setup program is not able to write changes to the SETUP.INI file,
and it leaves the file with an Open status. If a file on a floppy disk has an
Open status, SHARE.EXE will not allow the disk change to occur properly.
