Windows folder.
SYMPTOMS
When you are running Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release version 2 or
2.1 and you are using either the Windows 95 Client for NetWare Networks or
the Novell 32-bit client for Windows 95, the %OS_VERSION variable returns
"V7.00" rather than the value "V7.10" as you expect.
CAUSE
Nwredir.vxd returns an incorrect version.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be
solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing
Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note
that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and
User.dat) before you edit the registry.
You can resolve this issue by adding the version information for
Nwredir.vxd to the registry. Use Registry Editor to add a ShellVersion
binary value to the following registry key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\NWREDIR

4d 53 44 4f 53 00 56 37 2e 31 30 00 49 42 4d 5f 50 43 00 49 42 4d 00
