SYMPTOMS

After you install a server-based Windows 95 installation using the Microsoft 32-bit DLC protocol (MSDLC32), Dlc.vxd may report the following error message:
DLCHP.EXE is required to support 16-bit applications. It must be loaded from Autoexec.bat.

CAUSE

This error can be caused by either of the following conditions:
Net.exe is not being loaded before Dlchlp.exe is being run in the Autoexec.bat file.
The Autoexec.bat file does not contain the correct path to the Dlchlp.exe file.

RESOLUTION

Modify the Autoexec.bat file. Make sure that Net.exe is loaded before Dlchlp.exe, and that the path for the Dlchlp.exe file is correct. The path for the Dlchlp.exe file should point to the shared folder on the network server from which you run Windows 95. For example, the Autoexec.bat file may contain
   net.exe
   <drive>:\netsetup\dlchlp.exe
				
where <drive> is the network server from which you run Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

The default installation of MSDLC32 supports 16-bit DLC programs that require Dlchlp.exe to be loaded in the Autoexec.bat file.

In a server-based setup, the real-mode network components must be loaded and a drive mapped to the shared Windows 95 installation before Dlchlp.exe can be loaded.
