General Process
. .
. .
. .
1. Download each required SoftPAQ to its own directory and execute the SoftPAQ. Do not
. .
specify –f as a command line option to the SoftPAQ, except as specified below in the errata for
. .
. .
each NIC. Because NIC driver sets may contain identically named drivers for NDIS3 and
. .
NDIS4 in the same SoftPAQ, extracting out to a flat directory structure will cause filename
. .
. .
conflicts in these cases.
. .
. .
2. Use InfInst to integrate NIC drivers into the installation share. In InfInst, specify the location
. .
. .
of the INF file that came with the driver set and the location of the Windows 98 SETUP.EXE
. .
file. Press the "Add Inf" button.
. .
. .
3. The NIC driver is now integrated into the Windows 98 installation files.
. .
. .
. .
Specific Errata
. .
. .
. .
. .
3com NIC driver
. .
. .
1. For the 3COM NIC driver SoftPAQs, specify –f as a command line option to the SoftPAQ.
. .
. .
This will extract the SoftPAQ out into a flat (single) directory.
. .
. .
2. Subdirectory names called out in the INF file will cause problems since InfInst copies all files
. .
. .
to a flat directory structure. Edit the INF files (DRMON95.INF and W95EL90X.INF) and
. .
remove any subdirectory entries in the [SourceDiskFiles] section before adding these INFs to
. .
. .
the installation share via InfInst. For example, change
. .
. .
[SourceDisksFiles]
. .
. .
el90xnd3.sys =51,win32\I386
. .
el90xnd4.sys =51,win32\I386
. .
el90x.dos =51,win95
. .
. .
. .
to
. .
. .
. .
[SourceDisksFiles]
. .
el90xnd3.sys =51
. .
el90xnd4.sys =51
. .
. .
el90x.dos =51
. .
. .
1. Use the W95EL90X.INF file to add the Win98 support. You will need to add both
. .
W95EL90X.INF and DRMON95.INF (in this order) via InfInst.
. .
. .
2. When adding W95EL90X.INF, InfInst gives a warning message when DRMON95.INF is
. .
. .
copied.
. .
. . Click OK.
. .
You must add drmon95.inf separately.
. .
. .
3. File names that end in .95 will cause problems with this installation method. Before adding
. .
. .
DRMON95.INF, rename DTAAPI.95_ to DTAAPI.9_ and SMARTAGT.95_ to
. .
SMARTAGT.9_ so that InfInst will work. These need to be renamed back to *.95_ in the
. .
. .
installation directory (i.e. where the Windows 98 files exist) after InfInst has been run in order
. .
for the operating system installation to work.
. .
. .
. .
4. When adding DRMON95.INF, InfInst will try to add W95EL90X.INF again. Chose not to
. .
replace this file when prompted. InfInst may modify the INF files as it adds them, so replacing
. .
. .
this INF would lose any modifications.
