You may receive the following error message while attempting to perform a
Setup Error #S019
Setup cannot create the file WIN.COM, which it needs to set Windows
up. Setup cannot continue.
CAUSE
Either of the following may cause this error:
- You are trying to run Setup from the Windows 3.1 floppy disks by
using the /N switch.
-or-
- You are using Novell NetWare and have not regenerated IPX.COM from the
IPX.OBJ file included with Windows 3.1. For more information on
regenerating the IPX.COM file, please see section 2.10 of the
NETWORKS.WRI file.
MORE INFORMATIONRunning Setup /N from the Floppy Disks
Setup /N was designed to be run from a network installation of Windows
3.0, 3.0a, or 3.1. The above error message will appear when running
Windows 3.1 Setup from a floppy disk using Setup /N or
NETSETUP=TRUE in the [Data] section of
the SETUP.INF file. NETSETUP=TRUE Setup will automatically perform a
network setup.
The Setup /N command must be performed from the Windows 3.1 shared
directory on the file server, as explained on page 8 of the "Getting
Started with Microsoft Windows" manual for version 3.1. Page 9 of the
"Getting Started with Microsoft Windows" manual outlines the procedure
to place the Windows files on the file server.
Regenerating IPX.COM from IPX.OBJ
If you are using Novell NetWare, you must regenerate the IPX.COM file
for each computer where you intend to run Windows 3.1. Usually, you
can do this either before or after you run Setup. However, when you
are running Setup with the /N option (Setup /N), you may need to
regenerate IPX.COM before running Setup to avoid receiving Setup Error
#S019.
For more information on using Novell NetWare software and Windows 3.1,
please see section 2.10 of the NETWORKS.WRI file.
