Application Error: SUWIN Caused an Illegal Instruction (124177)

This article was previously published under Q124177 SYMPTOMS
When you try to use Netsetup.exe to perform a server-based setup of
Windows 95 on a system running Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS,
you receive the following error:
Application Error "SUWIN caused an illegal instruction in module
GDI.EXE at 0001:16EF."
NOTE: This error can also occur on systems with insufficient hard disk
space to create a temporary setup directory.
CAUSE
This error occurs on Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS systems configured to use
the basic network redirector. When Windows 95 is set up from an MS-DOS
prompt, it loads a mini-version of Windows. This version is very sensitive
to system files not being accessible or loadable. The basic redirector
included with Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS may occasionally drop file
handles and/or network connections. After this occurs, the mini-version of
Windows fails to load code segments or resources and generates the error
message.
RESOLUTION
Run Setup after starting Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS using the full
redirector. To start Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS with the full redirector,
type "net stop" (without the quotation marks) at an MS-DOS prompt and log
off the system. Then type "net start full" (without the quotation marks)
and log on to the system. Setup should now run without generating the error
message.
