Next message: Romeyn Prescott: "RE: [WinMac] Windows 95 Flat Share Floppy?"
One more time now: EXTRACT.EXE
Back on the 18th, I spelled it out...
<http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q154/2/91.ASP>:
9. In the case of Windows 95 drivers, you will either need to point the server
to the Windows directory of an existing computer running Windows 95 that has
that print driver already loaded, or you can do the following:
A. Extract the Windows 95 cabinet files into a location accessible to the
Windows NT server. The cabinet files needed are Precopy2.cab, Win95_09.cab, and
Win95_10.cab.
B. Presuming that your Windows 95 compact disc is in drive D, and you are
extracting the files to a directory called C:\w95print, the commands to do this
are:
i. c:
ii. md \w95print
iii. cd \w95print
iv. d:\win95\extract.exe /e d:\win95\precopy2.cab *.*
v. d:\win95\extract.exe /e d:\win95\win95_09.cab *.*
vi. d:\win95\extract.exe /e d:\win95\win95_10.cab *.*
C. Use c:\w95print as the path to load the Windows 95 drivers. When you view
this directory, there will be 116 .inf files and you will need to select the
correct one. To view a list of the printer drivers, point to the Msprint.inf
file.
NOTE: You may also be prompted for the files from Win95_11.cab or Win95_06.cab,
depending on the Windows 95 installation source and which printer is being
installed. If so, use the following commands to extract the files to the same
location as above:
d:\win95\extract.exe /e d:\win95\win95_11.cab *.*
d:\win95\extract.exe /e d:\win95\win95_06.cab *.*
It looks from Q154291 that Windows 2000 fixed this PITA issue...
Cheers!
