SYMPTOMS

When you try to install a 3Com 3C575-TX CardBus network interface card (NIC), using the Have Diskette option from the Network tool in Control Panel, you may receive the following error message:
Missing OEMNT.inf or OEMSETUP.inf file
This happens when you have downloaded the 3c575x.exe file from the 3Com Web site, saved it to a floppy disk, and then run the .exe file, creating several folders and saved files on the disk.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because some of the files are not extracted when you run the .exe file from the floppy disk.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, copy the 3c575x.exe file to the \Winnt folder and then run it from there. The files should be extracted properly.

MORE INFORMATION

The 3Com 3C575-TX CardBus NIC can be installed only on a computer that supports CardBus; it should not be installed on a computer that supports only PC Card mode (PCIC). On a computer that supports PCIC only, use the 3C574-TX NIC, which is designed for PC Card interfaces running in 16-bit PC Card mode.
