I´ve set up a windows NT server 4.0 with service pack 4. When I´m trying to install drivers for windows 95/98, I´m prompted for a disk called "Windows 95 Flat Share". Where can I find that. I want the drivers to be downloaded from the server to the 95 clients without a lot of fuzz....
Greatfull for any help.

This is happening because NT can't expand Win9x .cab files. Solution is to extract all files from the necessary Win9x .cab files to a folder, then point NT towards this folder
for the print drivers.

For Windows 95, the cab files concerned are:

Precopy2.cab
Win95_09.cab
Win95_10.cab

Detailed method is given here:

For Win98, this is going to be more complicated, because I don't know the
exact .cab files which are needed. However, a safe bet is: all driverxx.cab
files (11 through 21) and the two precopy .cab files. You'll have to do
some research and guess work. Then point NT towards this folder.

Please, let us know which .cab files are involved for Win98.
