-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows 95 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Microsoft does not encourage or support changes to .inf files;
therefore, Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) does not support the
procedure in this article. Although we have tested the following procedure
and it appears to function as described, make a backup copy of your .inf
file before you proceed.

SYMPTOMS
========

When you are running an automated Setup, Setup may prompt you for the location
of the Msdlc32 files.

CAUSE
=====

When the INF installer is used to add Msdlc32 to an automated Setup, incorrect
entries are created in the Layout.inf file.

RESOLUTION
==========

The Layout.inf file, located in the folder containing Netsetup, should read as
follows for Msdlc32 to be installed correctly. The Layout.inf file in the Inf
and Suwin folders should also be updated.

  NETDLC32.INF=1,INF,11
  DLCNDI.DLL=1,SYSTEM,11
  DLCHLP.EXE=1,,11
  DLC.VXD=1,SYSTEM,11
  DLCAPI.DLL=1,SYSTEM,11
  TRCDLC.EXE=1,SYSTEM,11

If the following entries exist in the Layout.inf file, remove them:

  NETDLC32.INF,,DLC~.I1=1,INF,11
  DLCNDI.DLL,,DLC~.D2=1,SYSTEM,11
  DLC.VXD,,DLC~.V1=1,SYSTEM,11
  DLCAPI.DLL,,DLCAPI~.D1=1,SYSTEM,11
  TRCDLC.EXE,,TRCDLC~.E1=1,SYSTEM,11
  DLCHLP.EXE=1,WINBOOT,11

The following files in the Netsetup\System folder should be renamed as
indicated:

  Rename Dlc~.v1 to Dlc.vxd
  Rename Dlcapi~.d1 to Dlcapi.dll
  Rename Trcdlc~.e1 to Trcdlc.exe

NOTE: This represents only the information for Msdlc32. Other changes to the
Layout.inf file could cause the automated Setup not to work correctly.
