SYMPTOMS

When you are trying to install a program or Windows device driver, the Setup
program for the program or device driver fails.

on your hard disk, it may fail in Windows 95. If these files are not required
due to your computer's configuration, they may not be present.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you can either:

- Create generic AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

  -or-

- Obtain a new Setup program from the manufacturer.
