Autoexec.bat modifications

[MagarG]

Has anyone seen this on Fat Client Win95/98 installs? The install program modifies the autoexec and puts a path statement in for the environment and system, for example: SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\B7\DV7333\bin32;C:\B7\system\bin32. On some of our PCs during a new install or a package deployment, these Xe Path statements are put into the wrong SET statement. We are running Novell, and one of the entries in the autoexec.bat is SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH. After we do the install, this may say SET NWLANGUAGE=C:\B7\DV7333\bin32;C:\B7\system\bin32. This hoses up starting the PC.

For best results do not use anything but NT or Windows 2000, look on the KG
for MTR for workstations.

Thanks, we are slowing migrating off of Win98. I just got a call back from JDE and this is a reported problem when using Novell and they don't have a fix for it yet :-(

Agree, I've a lot of headaches with Win9x (and also Novell)
