Setup Does Not Find Previous Version of Windows (71271)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0a
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q71271 SUMMARY
The Microsoft Windows Setup program does not see an earlier version of
Windows if the file WINVER.EXE is not in the Windows directory.
MORE INFORMATION
Setup checks the hard drive for another copy of Windows by looking for
WINVER.EXE. If this file has been deleted or is not in the Windows
directory, Setup attempts to install a new copy of Windows.
This is by design.
