SUMMARY
=======
Some packages of Microsoft Windows version 3.0 contain incorrectly labeled
3.5-inch disks. Disks 1 through 4 are labeled correctly. Disks labeled 5, 6, and
7 are actually disks 4, 5, and 6, respectively. The correct Disk 7, which
contains printer drivers, is missing. The confirmed build number (from the bar
code sticker on the Windows 3.0 box) for this situation is #50-00-777-09-02.
MORE INFORMATION
================
During the Setup program for Windows 3.0, you are prompted to insert Disk 5 and
continue, but Setup does not recognize Disk 5 when it is inserted. If you insert
Disk 6 instead, Setup proceeds until it asks for Disk 6, at which point it will
again not recognize the disk. Inserting Disk 7 allows the Setup to continue.
The Windows Setup can be completed successfully (less printer support) if you DO
NOT install printers during Setup, and you substitute the appropriate disks for
the mislabeled ones asked for by the program.
To receive free replacement disks, call Microsoft Product Support at (425)
454-2030.
