SYMPTOMS

In some situations, SETUP /E may fail, making a manual installation of the MS-DOS utilities (Microsoft Backup, Microsoft Anti-Virus and Microsoft Undelete) necessary.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you must manually install the MS-DOS Utilities using the COPY and EXPAND commands.

The files to be expanded are shown with the destination filename to the right; all other files simply need to be copied from the MS-DOS Upgrade disks to the hard disk drive. All the files should be placed in the directory containing your MS-DOS files (usually C:\DOS).
