- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
SETUP.EXE, from the Setup toolkit, displays the message "This program requires
Microsoft Windows" when run from the MS-DOS prompt. At other times, SETUP.EXE
successfully launches Windows and runs.
CAUSE
=====
The MS-DOS stub program for SETUP.EXE attempts to launch WIN.COM. The stub
program can do this only if the length of the path to WIN.COM is less than or
equal to the length of the path to SETUP.EXE, rounded up to the nearest multiple
of 16. If the path to WIN.COM is longer than this, then the stub program
displays the message above and returns.
RESOLUTION
==========
Run the Setup program from Windows.
