Cannot Reapply Service Pack 5 from November 1996 MSDN (170261)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
This article was previously published under Q170261 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to reapply Service Pack 5 in Windows NT Workstation 3.51
from the November, 1996 MSDN CD-ROM, you may be repeatedly prompted for
the Windows NT Workstation CD-ROM or the CD-ROM containing the Service
Pack files.
CAUSE
Service Pack 5 was moved to CD-ROM 10 in the November, 1996 MSDN library.
In previous MSDN libraries, Service Packs and Windows NT installation
folders are on the same CD-ROM.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
- Install Service Pack 5 from the most current MSDN release.
- Download Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 from the Microsoft Web site
at http://www.microsoft.com.
- Copy the Service Pack 5 and Windows NT 3.51 installation folders to a
temporary folder on the local hard disk. Copy the Service Pack 5 files
to the <tempdir>\Winnt351.sp5\<platform> folder, and copy the Windows
NT 3.51 files to the <tempdir>\<ntplatform> folder, where <tempdir> is
the temporary folder on the local hard disk, <ntplatform> is the folder
containing the appropriate Windows NT installation files for the type
of computer you are using (for example, I386 for Intel-based
computers), and <platform> is the folder containing the appropriate
Service Pack 5 installation files for the type of computer you are
using. Then, run Update.exe from the <tempdir>\Winnt351.sp5\<platform>
folder.
MORE INFORMATION
Later MSDN CD-ROM kits may have the Service Pack files on an alternate
CD-ROM. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
