 - Microsoft Bob version 1.0

SUMMARY
=========
 
If setup fails when you reinstall Bob in maintenance mode, run setup from
the original disks or CD-ROM.
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
If you install Microsoft Bob from a floppy disk, you may receive any of the
following error messages:
 
   Cannot read from drive <drive>
 
   -or-
 
   Could not read from file named <drive>:\u2.cab
 
   -or-
 
   The compressed file <drive>:\u2.cab cannot be decompressed
   and may be corrupted
 
   -or-
 
   Tried to create an invalid path using <drive>:\ and U2.cab.
 
where <drive> is the letter of your floppy drive.
 
This problem occurs with Windows 3.x when you try to reinstall Bob in Setup
maintenance mode.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To work around this problem, run SETUP.EXE from Disk 1 of your Microsoft
Bob Installation disks, rather than from your hard disk drive. As long as
the setup table file (SETUP.STF) is registered correctly in the [MS Setup
(ACME) Table Files] section of your WIN.INI file, the maintenance mode of
Setup should run properly.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
This behavior occurs when you run Setup from your hard disk drive,
either by double-clicking the Setup icon in the Microsoft Bob Program
Group or by double-clicking the SETUP.EXE file in the Microsoft Bob
Setup directory.
