SYMPTOMS
========

If you copy the contents of the Windows NT Resource Kit version 3.5 to a
directory with a space in its name and run Setup, this message appears:

  Microsoft Setup

  SETUP [/?] [/f] [/i <INF Src File>]
        [/c <Script Section>] [/s <Src Path>]
        [/t <Var> = Value>] [/v]

  /? - generates this Usage message.
  /f - turns off blue background.
  /i - defaults to Current Working Directory + 'SETUP.INF'.
  /c - defaults to 'Shell Commands'.
  /s - defaults to Current Working Directory.
  /t - set INF <var> to <value>. multiple /T valid.
  /v - turn on INF syntax checking.

If you choose OK, the installation fails.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, do one of the following:

- Move the Windows NT Resource Kit version 3.5 files to a directory path that
  does not include a space.

  -or-

- Rename the directory that contains the Windows NT Resource Kit version 3.5
  files to another name that does not include a space.
