The information in this article applies to:
- MSPRESS Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit, version 3.51
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This articles applies to the German version of the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit only.
SYMPTOMS
========
You might experience problems when running the CPS utilities Winntp.exe or
Uplodprf after installing the Resource Kit from the original German Windows NT
3.5x Resource Kit CD-ROM.
For example, if you attempt to run Winntp.exe, you will receive the following
error message:
Unable to find the .INF Source File.
Check the /i switch on the Setup command line.
CAUSE
=====
The original United States Windows NT 3.51 Resource Kit CD-ROM was not fully ISO
9660 compliant. While mastering the German CD-ROM, all special character and
long filenames were automatically converted to ISO 9660. This process changed
all ~ (tilde) characters to _ (underscore) characters. The CPS file ~profile.inf
was changed to _profile.inf, which causes Winntp.exe to fail.
Note that the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kits do not have files containing the ~
character, so this issue affects only the 3.5x version of the German Resource
Kit.
WORKAROUND
==========
After installing the Resource Kit utilities, rename _profile.inf to
~profile.inf.
