Windows NT 4.0 installation problem

IBM now has updated OEMSETUP files which correct a problem with the Windows NT 4.0 installation process. When performing a fresh (NOT Upgrade) install of Windows NT 4.0, along with support for a network adapter present in that machine, the install may fail during the setup of the network card with the following msg:

"Non Critical Error: An error occurred. Unable to open the file c:\$Win_NT$.~LS\i386\xxxxx.dll".

This problem can be corrected by obtaining updated device driver diskettes as follows:

1. Print these instructions.
2. For the:
   • PCI Token-Ring Adapter, download the March 1998 or later release of the PCI Token-Ring Adapter NDIS Drivers Diskette.
   • Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring ISA Adapter, download the March 1998 orlater release of the Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring ISA Adapter Device Drivers Diskette.

   These files are self-extracting diskette image files.

3. After downloading, simply execute TRP1642 or TRI164T2 to create the device drivers diskette and have a blank formatted 3.5"/1.44M diskette ready for your diskette drive when prompted.
4. Perform the NT 4.0 Installation.
5. When the installation program detects the Token-Ring Adapter and asks you to identify it, indicate that you "Have Disk".
6. Use the diskette that you created in step 3.
7. Complete the installation.
