SYMPTOMS
========

The Windows Setup program goes directly to the system configuration screen
without letting you specify a directory when the WINVER.EXE file is in the
directory from which you are running Setup.

This is usually only a problem if you are doing a SETUP /N from a network
directory that has the WINVER.EXE file on it.

CAUSE
=====

Setup doesn't give you a directory choice because it assumes that Windows is
already installed if WINVER.EXE exists.

WORKAROUND
==========

To correct this problem, delete the WINVER.EXE file before you run Setup. The
file is re-created in the proper directory after Setup is run.
