RPL Setup Err Msg: Missing Batch File (134600)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q134600 SYMPTOMS
When you start a server-based setup of Windows 95 created using an RPL
image on a Novell NetWare diskless workstation, you may receive the
following error message:
MISSING BATCH FILE
After you receive this message, the workstation seems to work correctly.
CAUSE
Novell's NETX and VLM drivers search for an Autoexec.bat file in the
Home\Suboot directory on the server. This file is deleted by an RPL Setup,
and must be manually copied by the network administrator.
RESOLUTION
You can safely ignore this error message. To prevent the error message
from occurring, use either of the following methods:
- Have the network administrator create a new Autoexec.bat file in
each user's Home directory.
- Prevent Setup from deleting the Suboot directory and the Autoexec.bat
file by adding the following line to the [Network] section of the
Msbatch.inf file in the shared installation directory:
savesuboot=1
Then, MAP ROOT the A drive to the Home directory on the server, and
copy the Autoexec.bat file from the Suboot directory to the Home
directory.
