To create a Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 3.5-inch, 1.44 megabyte Disk 8:
1. Create a temporary directory on your hard disk drive. For example, type "MD
C:\MSWFW8" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt and
then press ENTER.
2. Copy MSWFW8.EXE to the temporary directory created in step 1. For example,
type "copy a:mswfw8.exe c:\mswfw8" (without the quotation marks) at the
MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
3. Change to drive C by typing "c:" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS
command prompt and then press ENTER.
4. Change to the MSWFW8 directory by typing "cd \mswfw8" (without the quotation
marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
5. Run MSWFW8.EXE by typing "c:\mswfw8\mswfw8" (without the quotation marks) at
the MS-DOS command prompt and then pressing ENTER. This expands the Windows
for Workgroups 3.11 files.
6. Delete MSWFW8.EXE from the temporary directory. For example, type "del
c:\mswfw8\mswfw8.exe" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command
prompt and then press ENTER.
7. Copy the remaining files to newly formatted a high-destiny (1.44 megabyte),
3.5-inch disk. For example, type "copy c:\mswfw8\*.* a:" (without the
quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
8. Change the volume label on the floppy disk to MSWFW8 using the LABEL program.
For example, type "label a: mswfw8" (without the quotation marks) at the
MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
9. Delete the files in the temporary directory on your hard disk drive. For
example, type "del c:\mswfw8\*.*" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS
command prompt and then press ENTER.
10. Remove the temporary C:\MSWFW8 directory. For example, type "rd c:\mswfw8"
(without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press
ENTER.
You should now be able to use your newly created Windows for Workgroups Disk 8 to
install Windows for Workgroups.
