Q67847: C 6.00a CD-ROM Setup Does Not Install RAMDRIVE or SMARTDRV

Article: Q67847
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 6.00a  | 6.00a

When Setup is run from the CD-ROM version of Microsoft C version
6.00a, the following two files are not found along the specified path:

   \HD525\DISK7\RAMDRIVE.SYS
   \HD525\DISK7\SMARTDRV.SYS

The two files are included in this path:

   \HD525\DISK6\RAMDRIVE.SYS
   \HD525\DISK6\SMARTDRV.SYS

Since the files are not compressed, they can be copied to your hard
drive.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the C version 6.00a
CD-ROM Setup program. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here as it becomes available.
