Setup Remarks Out Lines in AUTOEXEC.BAT File (127806)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q127806

SYMPTOMS

When you install Windows 95, Setup remarks out some of the commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. These commands are the REN, COPY, MOVE, and DEL commands.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. Setup disables these lines to prevent files that may be required for Setup to finish successfully from changing.

RESOLUTION

After Windows 95 is installed and working correctly, use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove the REM command from the beginning of lines that you want to re-enable.
