Setup Defaults to Windows.000 Folder

When you install Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Setup may default to installing Windows Me in the Windows.000 folder.

When you install Windows 98, Setup may default to installing Windows 98 in the Windows98.000 folder.

When you install Windows 95, Setup may default to installing Windows 95 in the Windows.000 folder.

This behavior can occur if key files are missing from the Windows folder, or the Windows folder is missing or damaged.

When you are prompted to install Windows in the Windows.000 or Windows98.000 folder, click Other Directory, and then type the name of the folder you want to use (such as Windows).

Windows Setup searches your hard disk for a valid Windows folder to upgrade. If Setup finds a Windows folder with missing or damaged files, it defaults to installing Windows in the Windows.000 or Windows98.000 folder.

Both Windows 95 and Windows 98 Setup increment the number for the folder if a previous install created a .000 file (001, 002, and so on).
