That's strange. When you're in the hardware wizard and you browse to
the folder in which both FLPYEMAX.INF and FLPYEMAX.SYS can be found,
the installation should go on successfully.
This procedure is not unique to the EMAX-drivers, it is a standard
driver installation procedure...
Are you sure both files are in the folder ?
Can you click on the FLPYEMAX.INF file - does it appear in the file
list within the hardware wizard browse window?
In what step of the installation instructions do you get this
message ? Step 4E ? Until what step is everything going fine ?
What is the current floppy driver for your floppy drives ? Is
it "flpydisk.sys" from Microsoft ? If not, the EMAX drivers will
probably not work because you have another type of hardware.
Anyone else in this group having this problem ?
Or have there been successful installations yet ?
