SYMPTOMS
========

When you use an Msbatch.inf file to install a foreign language (localized)
version of Windows 95, Setup may prompt you to install a printer even though you
specified a printer in the [Printers] section of the Msbatch.inf file.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if the [Printers] section heading in the Msbatch.inf
file is not typed using the same language as the localized version of Windows 95
you are installing.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this behavior, use a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the
Msbatch.inf file on the server from which you are running Setup, and type the
[Printers] section heading using the appropriate language.

NOTE: You may need to install the appropriate language on the server before you
edit the Msbatch.inf file.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

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

The [Printers] section heading is the only section heading in the Msbatch.inf
file that must be typed using the same language as the localized version of
Windows 95 you are installing.


For additional information about using an Msbatch.inf file for batch
installations of Windows 95, please see Appendix D in the Microsoft Windows 95
Resource Kit.
