I am trying to upgrade from Win95 to 98. During installation, it asked me for these files:

configmg.vxd
dosmgr.vxd
biosxlt.vxd

Can anybody please tell me the location of these files on Win98 CD, if they are there? I am unsure asto what they are and why I need them. I must be doing something wrong. Thanks.

These files will be on the WIN95 CD,reinstall the 95 OS,and then upgrade the system with WIN98,this will insure that the files have been loaded on the system.

Configmg.vxd and dosmgr.vxd are found in win98_47.cab.

There is not such a file as biosxlt.vxd in 95' or 98', but there is a biosxlat.vxd and is found in win98_47.cab also.

On the 95' CD configmg.vxd and biosxlat.vxd is found in win95_09.cab and dosmgr.vxd is found in win95_03.cab. All three locations mentioned for the 95' CD is from the original 95' CD not the 'B' version or above.

You can also use the extract command at the dos prompt with the /a switch to search all the .cab files.
example: extract /a d:\win95\win95_02.cab /L c:\windows\system\vmm32

Good Luck!
