Re: win98_*cab file is missing

At the point when it asks for the Win98 CD, put the CD in and use the browse
button to navigate to the CD's Win98 folder. (at that point you could also
open Explorer and view contents of the CD Win98 folder and attempt to verify
that the cab file is there). The prompts should also be showing you what
files its looking for in a cab file it names. Posting that info here would
also help others that may be able to help you.

At the prompt, I put the CD in but it won't find the file
on the CD.

It gives me this message:

"The File "FINSTALL.DLL" on Windows 98 Second Edition CD-
ROM cannot be found.

Insert Windows 98 Second Edition CD-ROM in Selected drive
and click OK."

If I click on the details button, I get this message:

"Error Message:

The Following Error occurred: 'The path was not found'
(error #3)

Setup could not finish opening a file on the source disk.

Source file: F:\INSTALLS\WinCabs\98se\ICONLIB.DLL
Destination File:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ICONLIB.DLL=DRIVER12.CAB"

Hopefully this will help identify the problem.

Thanks!

Adam

ok ....
when it cant find the file, there should be a browse button also on the pop
up window which allows you to navigate to CD and specify (point to) the
folder on the CD with the cab files in it.
