SYMPTOMS
========

When you upgrade to Windows 95 using a custom Msbatch.inf file to install
Windows 95 in a folder other than the current Windows folder, the Setup process
is not completely automated.

CAUSE
=====

The Msbatch.inf file has a setting that is used to select the folder in which
Windows 95 is installed. If a folder other than the current Windows folder is
selected, you receive a message stating that installing Windows 95 in another
folder requires you to reinstall all of your Windows-based programs.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This behavior is by design. Because multiple installations of Windows 95 on a
single computer is not supported, this feature is not included in an automated
Setup using an Msbatch.inf file.
