OLD_DOS.x Directory Created Even if You Can't Uninstall (94414)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q94414 SUMMARY
Although you don't have the option to uninstall when you install Microsoft
MS-DOS 6.x Upgrade on a system with a disk-compression program (such as
Stacker), Setup still creates an OLD_DOS.x directory.
Because you cannot uninstall, it is safe to delete the OLD_DOS.x directory
using DELOLDOS.EXE.
MORE INFORMATION
Setup uses the OLD_DOS.x directory to create temporary CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files when it modifies them. Setup does not copy any other
MS-DOS files to this directory when you install MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Upgrade
over a disk-compression program.
