Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
SYMPTOMS
========
After you run the Microsoft Access Setup Wizard and copy the contents of your
disk image folders to diskettes using a computer running Windows 95, you may
receive the following error message when you run Setup.exe from Disk 1:
Setup cannot access required initialization file: 'A:\MSSETUP.DLL'.
CAUSE
=====
By default, Windows 95 hides .dll files in Explorer; therefore, MSSetup.dll did
not get copied to the diskette.
RESOLUTION
==========
In Windows 95 Explorer, click Options on the View menu, and click the "Show all
files" option on the View tab. Then, copy the Disk 1 folder's contents to the
diskette again.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Run the Microsoft Access Setup Wizard in Windows 95 to create 1.2 megabyte
(MB) or 1.44 MB disk images for a run-time application.
2. In the Windows 95 Explorer, click Options on the View menu, and click the
"Hide files of these types:" option on the View tab. (This is the default
selection when you install Windows 95.)
3. Copy the files in your Disk 1 image folder to a diskette.
4. Run Setup.exe from the diskette.
