SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to install the version 1.2 upgrade for MSN, The Microsoft
Network, you may receive the following error message:

  Cannot complete the upgrade. There is not enough disk space available to
  complete this upgrade. To free disk space, try emptying the Recycle Bin or
  removing unneeded files from your hard disk.

CAUSE
=====

If you have sufficient disk space, the Msnver.txt file may be missing. This file
contains the version number of MSN, which is 5399 for MSN 1.0 and 5699 for MSN
1.05.

RESOLUTION
==========

Create the missing Msnver.txt file. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Start an MS-DOS session.

2. Change to the \progra~1\themic~1 folder.

3. Type the following line, and then press ENTER:

  "copy con:msnver.txt" (without the quotation marks)

4. Type "5399" (without the quotation marks) for MSN 1.0 or "5699" (without the
  quotation marks) for MSN 1.05. Press CTRL+Z and then press ENTER.

After you create the Msnver.txt file, try upgrading to MSN 1.2 again.
