SETUP.TXT Incorrectly States to Run UPDATE.EXE on Windows NT 3.5 (136965)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q136965 SYMPTOMS
SETUP.TXT included with Windows NT Server and Workstation version 3.51
lists the following title in the table of contents:
Update Required when Retaining Windows NT 3.1
However, further down in the file the version number in the corresponding
title has changed to 3.5:
Update Required when Retaining Windows NT 3.5
All text in that section refers to retaining your installation of Windows
NT version 3.5 with Windows NT 3.51.
If you have Windows NT 3.5 installed on your computer and you follow the
instructions in this section and run UPDATE.EXE, a message similar to the
following appears when you restart Windows NT 3.5:
NOTE: SETUP.TXT may also be distributed with products that are bundled with
Windows NT 3.51 such as Backoffice version 1.5.
CAUSE
The section titled "Update Required when Retaining Windows NT 3.5"
erroneously refers to Windows NT 3.5 instead of Windows NT 3.1.
RESOLUTION
When you read the section titled "Update Required when Retaining Windows NT
3.5", replace all occurrences of Windows NT 3.5 with Windows NT 3.1,
because it is intended for users who want to retain their installation of
Windows NT 3.1 along with a new installation of Windows NT 3.51. If you do
not have Windows NT 3.1 and want to retain your installation of Windows NT
3.5 with a new installation of Windows NT 3.51, you do not need to run
UPDATE.EXE.
If you do not want to retain Windows NT 3.1 (or you do not have Windows NT
3.1 installed), but you have Windows NT 3.5 installed, and you have run
UPDATE.EXE because of the SETUP.TXT error above, you must undo the changes
made by UPDATE.EXE before you install Windows NT 3.51:
- Replace the following files in your %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
directory with the files by the same name in the \I386 directory on the
Windows NT 3.51 compact disc:
FASTFAT.SYS
NTFS.SYS - Replace the following file in your %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory with
the file by the same name in the \I386 directory on the Windows NT 3.51
compact disc:
AUTOCHK.EXE - Copy the following files from \I386 directory on the Windows NT 3.51
compact disc to a temporary directory on your hard disk:
UFAT.DL_
UNTFS.DL_ - Run the following commands from the command line to expand both files:
expand ufat.dl_ ufat.dll
expand untfs.dl_ untfs.dll
NOTE: You can find EXPAND.EXE in your %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory. - Copy UFAT.DLL and UNTFS.DLL into the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory.
- Delete the file PATCHDLL.DLL in your %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory.
You may restart your computer and begin the Windows NT 3.51 installation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
