IBM PC330/PC350 - Error in NetView CID install of S3 drivers

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
IBM PC 300 Series 6576 or 6586 systems running OS/2 may exhibit a SYS2170 error in PRODUCT.EXE at the end of a NetView DM (Distribution Manager) CID installation of the S3 Trio64/64V+ video drivers.

Problem Isolation Aids :
The failure does not occur if the S3 drivers are installed directly onto the system via diskette or via LAN CID installation.

The driver level is 2.80.16 or higher. Earlier driver levels do not exhibit this failure.

Fix :
1. Set the display resolution to 3 a character string (256, 32K, 64K, 16M) for the Color field in the NetView DM setup profile.
2. Remove the call to PRODUCT.EXE in the SETUP.CMD file.
