Every time when we try to install a new hardware to a version of
Windows, Windows ask to put Windows CD into the CD drive and hit OK. The
next message is that the installation program cannot find a certain
driver file such as a *.vxd or alike while it is showing, for example,
E: Win98 in the folder location, which is correct. Frustrated, we add a
backslash so that it looks now E: Win98\. Saaame errrrror message.
Finally having given up, we select Cancel. Then the same thing happens
for the next file. Often we must keep canceling more than one hundred
times before we finally get out of this mess and settle with no drivers.
Next time we start Windows the same thing is repeated. If we check
whether the requested file is indeed present in the \Win98, we find a
cab file for the requested file as can be demonstrated by using extract.exe.
Because millions people will encounter this exasperation, I can't
comprehend why the Microsoft people has ignored a glitch in such a
fundamental function. Or am I missing something even dummy users know?
