UNABLE TO COPY - APPSER~1.CLS during setup.

M

Michael Patten

After Slipstreaming a copy of Windows 2000 Pro, I get the
message "SETUP WAS UNABLE TO COPY THE FOLLOWING FILE-
APPSER~1.CLS" when the text-mode setup commences.

I have tried copying from the CD and slipstreaming again,
but no luck.

When starting the install the below are the boot files off
a MS-DOS 7 (Windows 95 OSR2) boot disk;

Config.sys;
-----------
himem.sys
emm386.exe 4096
smartdrv.exe 8192
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=120
BUFFERS=80
LASTDRIVE=Z

Autoexec.bat;
-------------
@Echo Off
path=C:\;C:\i386
C:\i386\winnt.exe /s:C:\i386 /u:C:\w2kpro.uaf

What could be causing my problem??

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have found a possible cause;

All files with the Tilde (~) in the file name somehow got
re-named with the Underscore (_) during file copy.

I now run a batch file to rename the files after copying
them over to the HDD. (on RM_ and CL_ file extensions)

eg;
"appser~1.cl_" got copied as "appser_1.cl_"

Anyone know how to retain these characters using
Windows '95 OSR2 xcopy? or do I need to upgrade the boot
disk to Win98/ME?

CL_ RM_ and WA_ are the only files which need to be
renamed post-copy. I added the following to my batch file
to rename the files after copying;

REN D:\SOE\I386\??????_?.CL_ D:\SOE\I386\??????~?.CL_
REN D:\SOE\I386\??????_?.RM_ D:\SOE\I386\??????~?.RM_
REN D:\SOE\I386\UTOPIA_?.WA_ D:\SOE\I386\UTOPIA~?.WA_

Hope this helps anyone else out with this problem!
