The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT,
   version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When installing the Win32 SDK with an unsupported CD-ROM, Microsoft
recommends booting MS-DOS and running MANUAL.BAT. This results in the
following error:

   invalid switch -  /i

WORKAROUND
==========

One workaround is to copy the MANUAL.BAT file to the hard disk and remove
the /i switches on the xcopy command lines. For example, if you copied the
file to C:\MANUAL.BAT and wanted to install the Win32 SDK with the
unsupported CD-ROM to drive c, the next step would be to switch back to the
CD-ROM and run C:\MANUAL.BAT C:.

In addition, a corrected copy of the MANUAL.BAT file was uploaded to
Library 8 of the MSWIN32 forum on CompuServe:

   Keywords: SETUPSDK MANUAL SETUP FIX TOOL

   This file contains: MANUAL.BAT & SETUPSDK.EXE

   MANUAL.BAT is the fixed version of same-named file found on the
   Win32 SDK CD_ROM. This is the same file as found in MANUAL.ZIP as
   found in this forum.

   The SetupSDK tool will allow you to selectively create the various
   Program Manager groups and environment variables as are normally
   created using the "Graphical Installation" method. This tool can
   also be used to create these groups and variables for different
   user accounts on your local machine. This tool runs under Windows
   NT only.
