MSCDEX.EXE DRIVER To use your CD-ROM drive under Windows 3.1 or DOS, the Microsoft CD-ROM extension driver (MSCDEX.EXE) must be loaded. The installation allows you to search for this driver in your system. It will then copy this driver to your \DRV directory and place a command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load this driver when your system boots up. Note : is your target installation directory. If you do not have the MSCDEX.EXE driver in your system, option 2 allows you to add a remarked statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you do so, you will then need to obtain this driver from your vendor and copy it to your \DRV sub-directory. Finally, remember to remove "REM" from the command that loads the MSCDEX.EXE driver in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. ********** E N D O F R E A D M E **********
