PC-NFSpro 1.1 Not Supported in Windows 95 (129219)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q129219 SYMPTOMS
You cannot install PC-NFSpro 1.1 from Sun Microsystems in Windows 95. If
you were running PC-NFSpro before you installed Windows 95, you can no
longer run PC-NFSpro after installing Windows 95.
CAUSE
The .INF file included with PC-NFSpro 1.1 (OEM_NFSW.INF) is not in the
correct format for a Windows 95 OEMSETUP.INF file. Therefore, Windows 95
cannot install PC-NFSpro as an additional network client.
In addition, PC-NFSpro is not a supported network in Windows 95. Windows 95
does not have the ability to detect the presence of this network during
Setup. When you install Windows 95 over an installation of Windows for
Workgroups 3.x with PC-NFSpro 1.1 installed as a primary or secondary
network, Windows 95 does not recognize PC-NFSpro as an installed network,
essentially disabling PC-NFSpro.
RESOLUTION
Call Sun Microsystems and obtain part number #102467-01. This is an updated
PC-NFSpro .INF file.
STATUS
This situation is most likely caused by design changes in Windows 95.
Microsoft has confirmed that it is not caused by a problem in Windows 95. For more information about resolving this issue, please contact Sun
Microsystems.
