If you try to install Services for Macintosh after installing U.S.
Service Pack 1 for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version
3.1, the following error message may appear:
A critical error has occurred.
The INF OEMNXPSM is missing the referenced file description
section [Files - SFM].
Check for missing lines.
CAUSE
The file OEMNXPSM.INF is missing from the SYSTEM32 directory. Services
for Macintosh is not able to install without this file.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, expand the OEMNXPSM.IN_ file from the
original disks or CD-ROM using the following command
expand <source>:\oemnxpsm.in_ <winnt>\SYSTEM32\oemnxpsm.inf
where <source> is the media you originally installed Windows NT from
(including the appropriate platform directory, I386 or MIPS) and <winnt> is
the location of your Windows NT system files.
Services for Macintosh will now install successfully.
NOTE: After installing Services for Macintosh, reapply U.S. Service
Pack 1 to update the Services for Macintosh files.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S.
Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For
