Damaged Cabinet File on Non-DMF MS Plus! Disk Set

RESOLUTION

Remove the Program Files\Plus! folder that was created by Setup, and then reinstall Microsoft Plus from a CD-ROM, a 3.5-inch DMF disk set, or a 3.5- inch standard (non-DMF) disk set that does not have this problem. To obtain a replacement non-DMF disk set that does not have this problem, please contact Microsoft Product Support.

If you are using DriveSpace and you cannot reinstall Microsoft Plus! from a CD-ROM, a 3.5-inch DMF disk set, or a 3.5-inch standard (non-DMF) disk set that does not have this problem right away, restore the Windows 95 DriveSpace files that were replaced by Microsoft Plus! Setup before you use Windows 95. To do so, start your computer at a command prompt, change to the drive containing Windows 95, and type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.

NOTE: These commands assume that your Windows folder is named Windows. If your Windows folder is named something else, substitute the name of your Windows folder in the following commands.

   cd \windows\command
   copy drvbin.w95 drvspace.bin /y
   copy dblbin.w95 dblspace.bin /y
   copy drvsys.w95 drvspace.sys /y
   copy dblsys.w95 dblspace.sys /y
   cd \windows\system\iosubsys
   copy drvvxd.w95 drvspacx.vxd /y
   cd\ 
   attrib *.w95 -s -h -r
   attrib *.bin -s -h -r
   copy drvbin.w95 drvspace.bin /y
   copy dblbin.w95 dblspace.bin /y
				

NOTE: Depending on the version of MS-DOS or Windows that was originally used to compress your drive, some of the .w95 files referenced in the above commands may not exist. If you receive a "File not found" error message after typing one of the above commands, try typing the command again to see if you typed it correctly. If you receive the same error message again, move on to the next command.

If the drive that contains the Windows folder is not also the physical boot drive, change to the physical boot drive and type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command:

   cd\ 
   attrib *.w95 -s -h -r
   attrib *.bin -s -h -r
   copy drvbin.w95 drvspace.bin /y
   copy dblbin.w95 dblspace.bin /y
				

After you type these commands, restart your computer.
