The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
This article was previously published under Q113834
SYMPTOMS
If you purchased a computer with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
version of MS-DOS 6 preinstalled and Windows or Windows for Workgroups is
not installed, you are prompted for the Windows directory with the
following message when you run MS-DOS 6.21 Upgrade Setup:
Setup has not found Microsoft Windows on your computer. Type
the path to your Windows directory, and then press ENTER.
CAUSE
This error message occurs because a computer with OEM MS-DOS 6
preinstalled has both Microsoft Backup and Microsoft Backup for
Windows installed.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS version 6.21. This
problem was corrected in MS-DOS version 6.22.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, press ESC to return to the previous
screen. The MS-DOS 6.21 Setup code is then reset not to prompt for
the Windows path. You can now accept the defaults and install MS-DOS
6.21.
