Hi everybody.  I'm trying to create an installation set (of diskettes) for
a Windows 3.0 network driver, and have run into a small but irritating problem.

(Note that in all examples that follow, all information specific to our driver
software has been replaced with generic names.)

The installation diskette contains three files:

OEMSETUP.INF		/*  Setup information file  */
DRIVER.DRV		/*  Driver		    */
DRIVER.HLP		/*  Driver online help file */


The OEMSETUP.INF file looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[disks]
1 = . ,"Network Driver disk #1"

[network]
driver = 1:driver.drv, "Network Driver", 1:driver.hlp, , , ,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I run SETUP (from the Windows directory \WIN on my hard disk) and ask to
install a network driver, I select "Other (Requires disk provided by a network
manufacturer)", and it asks me to insert the network driver disk, with the
default drive/path given as "A:\".  I press return; it reads from drive A and
pops up a box containing "Network Driver" (the name of my driver) in it.  So
far so good.  So, I press return to select my driver, and the following
message pops up:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please insert the: Network Driver disk #1

If the files on this disk can be found at a different location,
enter a new path to the files in the prompt below.

		C:\WIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SETUP appears to be looking for the files in the same directory as it is
run; it cannot find the files until I erase "C:\WIN" and replace it with "A:\".
WHY?  It already knows there's a network driver diskette in drive A; it had to
read the name of my driver from it.  If I run SETUP from drive A, it thinks
that Windows has not been installed yet, and wants to install all of Windows.
Is this a bug in SETUP, or is something wrong with my OEMSETUP.INF file?  Has
anybody run into this problem before?

Thanks!
