SUMMARY
Microsoft does not support installations of Windows NT that have been
"trimmed down" using a mechanism other than the Windows NT Setup
program. When you troubleshoot a Windows NT problem, verify that all
necessary files are present. If any files appear to be missing, have
the customer reinstall Windows NT before proceeding with any further
troubleshooting steps.
No minimal installation of Windows NT was tested other than the
installation that results after using the component removal feature of
the Windows NT Setup.
