SYMPTOMS
========
If you do not provide the Windows directory and the destination during a manual
installation of Encarta 1995, the following error message is displayed
There is not enough environment space to create temporary variables
and the batch file terminates.
CAUSE
=====
The MANUAL.BAT file is checking for a SYSPATH environment variable that does not
exist.
RESOLUTION
==========
Set the SYSPATH variable before you enter the manual command by typing the
following at the MS-DOS command prompt:
"set syspath=c:" (without the quotation marks)
Now, typing "MANUAL.BAT" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command
prompt by itself works correctly. It decompresses and copies the drivers,
dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), and other files to the C:\ENCFILES directory. No
files are written to the syspath, so it does not matter which directory is
specified.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The manual setup files are located in the following directory
<x>:\aamsstp\manual
where <x> is the CD-ROM drive letter.
MSETUP.TXT is a text file that provides the description of how to run MANUAL.BAT.
