Batch.exe Creates [InstallLocationsMRU] Section Incorrectly (157310)

This article was previously published under Q157310 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Batch Installation Utility (Batch.exe) included
with Microsoft Windows 95 Service Pack 1 to create a custom Msbatch.inf
file that contains an [InstallLocationsMRU] section, the section is
successfully added to the file. However, after you install Windows 95
using the custom Msbatch.inf file, the [InstallLocationsMRU] section may
not be implemented as you intended it to be.
CAUSE
When you use the Batch.exe tool to create an Msbatch.inf file that
contains an [InstallLocationsMRU] section, the section is added to the
file and entries for each path that you specify are added to the section.
However, the entries are created using an incorrect syntax.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, manually edit the Msbatch.inf file so that
each entry in the [InstallLocationsMRU] section uses the following syntax
<source>=mru<n>
where <source> is the path that you want to appear in the list of folders
from which you can choose when you are prompted for the location of the
Windows 95 Setup files and <n> is a sequential number associated with each
entry.
For example, the [InstallLocationsMRU] section could appear similar to the
following example:
[InstallLocationsMRU]
\\server\share\folder=mru1
c:\win95=mru2
\\winserver\source=mru3
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
