    just get the cd and put the files onto floppy disk
  • smgsmg
    yea, but then ill have to format them at a crazy size.
  • nighticenightice
    Use WinImage.
  • smgsmg
    I downloaded the Win95 original off WW and it's on 14 disks. Wee! No Explorer! Every disk is 1,69MB or something like that, so I'll just reformat my 1,44MB disks in WinImage to be 1,72MB. WOOT!
  • nighticenightice
    Format the disks as 1.68MB DMF. For disks 2-13, place the CABs onto the disks. Everything else goes onto the first. Extract SETUPP.INF from PRECOPY1.CAB. Find the ProductType key. Here's a list of valid ProductType values:
    Somebody on OSBA wrote:
    ProductType=1: Upgrades without asking for CD KEY (serial number)
    ProductType=2: Asks for 10-digit CD KEY
    ProductType=3: Wants a floppy install - doesn't work.
    ProductType=4: Fails - Error - previous ops system installed.
    ProductType=5: Works - asks for CD KEY, but won't take valid keys- can "ignore" ProductType=6: Works OK (?) (?)
    ProductType=7: Fails - Error - previous op system
    ProductType=8: Fails - Error - previous op system
    ProductType=9: OEM non upgrade version: Asks for OEM certificate number.

    This is for 95 OSR2 but it might work.
  • smgsmg
    should the Precoopy.Cab be on a disk togeder with on the disk 2?
  • nighticenightice
    I think it's disk 1.
  • smgsmg
    Ok.. mine has ProductType=8. What is that?
  • nighticenightice
    I don't have Windows 95 handy to test this on. I think that 8 is a full install. Are there any other Windowses on there?
  • smgsmg
    Ok.. Copying.. Wonder if it'll work?
  • SlashSlash
    Dunno, cuz never worked for me but I tried!
  • smgsmg
    I copied it all, but when I run setup the computer reboots.. Werid...
  • SlashSlash
    Use SetupCor.Exe
    I had that problem once.
    Or try to run the setup from DOS5.
  • smgsmg
    I dan't have no file that's "SetupCor.exe"...
  • SlashSlash
    Ah wait... Really it first appeared in 98SE. Can you copy it from there? But I doubt that will work.
    Just run the setup from old good DOS 5.0
  • smgsmg
    Must I install it or just the Bootdisk?
  • QQ
    It looks like your ProductType is bad... Try editing it and rerunning Setup.

    -Q
  • nighticenightice
    Try 9.
  • smgsmg
    I have 8. Is it just to change it to 9?
  • nighticenightice
    Yeah.
  • smgsmg
    ok. I'll try that today..
  • QQ
    Anyone here have an "OEM certificate number" then?

  • nighticenightice
    This one is for OSR2, but it should work on the original.
