The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Flight Simulator for Windows 95, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to install for Flight Simulator for Windows 95, you may receive
the following error message:

  Setup cannot copy file <Filename>

where

  <Filename>

is the name of the file that cannot be copied. The first file not copied is
Micros~1.url. This error message usually occurs after about 20 percent of the
program has been installed. Setup will continue, and Flight Simulator will be
able to start and fly OK. However, certain features will not be available
because of the missing files.

CAUSE
=====

Flight Simulator for Windows 95 uses long file names. Real-mode CD-ROM drivers
have a difficult time reading long file names.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, remove the real-mode CD-ROM drivers and replace them with
Windows 95/98 protected mode CD-ROM drivers.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Windows protected mode drivers should be available from the CD-ROM drive
manufacturer. Some protected mode CD-ROM drivers are available in Windows
95/98.

For help with loading protected mode drivers, see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Q151634 Protected-Mode CD-ROM Drive support in Windows 95
