I have a lot of file with xxx.3.3 filename. (Exactly 32)
[node1]-root# ll *.???.???
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 1355 Mar 3 14:02 ADMPARSE.DLL.MU_
...............................................................................................................
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 9526 Mar 3 14:05 WININET.DLL.MU_
and the installer complains for each file.
For an example, ADMPARSE.DLL.MU_ appears in DOSNET.INF
[Files]
..........................
d1,admparse.dll.mui
and in TXTSETUP.SIF
[SourceDisksFiles.x86]
.......................................
dmparse.dll.mui = 1,,,,,,,1974,0,0
What must be the content of $oem$\$1\$$Rename.txt ? (Just for
admparse.dll.mui)
and what are the modifications to do in DOSNET.INF and TXTSETUP.SIF
