Default Win98 Cab Files

Have copied Win98 Cab Files to hard disk. Where in the registry do I change
to show this so that I don't have to input CD when windows calls for it?
Thanks in advance.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup

it to the file.
Hope this helps.

Lee,

You can also change the Source Path in TweakUI if you have it.

Under the My Computer tab in Special folders change the Installation
Path. The CD should be mounted for this.

TweakUI 1.33:
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../nttweakui.asp
Right click the INF file and install. Then find it in Control Panel.

I should say the CD MAY need to be inserted for this. Try it
without. first.
