- 3. MSCDEX.EXE DRIVER
-
- To use your CD-ROM drive under Windows 3.1 or DOS, the
- Microsoft CD-ROM extension driver (MSCDEX.EXE) must be loaded.
-
- The installation allows you to search for this driver in your
- system. It will then copy this driver to your <dir>\DRV directory
- and place a command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load this
- driver when your system boots up.
-
- Note : <dir> is your target installation directory.
-
- If you do not have the MSCDEX.EXE driver in your system,option 2
- allows you to add a remarked statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- If you do so, you will then need to obtain this driver from your
- vendor and copy it to your <dir>\DRV sub-directory. Finally,
- remember to remove "REM" from the command that loads the
- MSCDEX.EXE driver in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
