Cannot Locate Readme.doc on MSDN Compact Disc (156187)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q156187 SYMPTOMS
When you try to open Readme.doc on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN)
compact disc that contains Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, you may not
be able to open the file as the documentation suggests.
CAUSE
The documentation shipped with the MSDN compact disc set that includes
Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 incorrectly refers to a Readme.doc file in
the root directory that does not exist.
RESOLUTION
The MSDN documentation incorrectly states the filename and location of the
preinstallation notes for Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0. The
documentation should reference Setup.txt (uncompressed) in the
directory corresponding to the architecture being used (for example, I386
for Intel-based hardware).
Setup.txt notes preinstallation issues specific to hardware, firmware,
and general installation topics of Microsoft Windows NT.
You can find supplemental release notes in Readme.wri, Network.wri,
and Printer.wri. Windows NT Setup installs Readme.wri in the following
directory:
Network.wri and Printer.wri can be found in the system root directory after
installation.
The books and manuals for Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, including
the Start Here manual, are organized by chapter as uncompressed .doc files
and can be found in the Support\Books directory on the compact disc.
