Win98 Installation Phase 1

During this phase, Setup:

  • Creates the Setuplog.txt file in the root directory (C:).
  • Identifies the drive where Windows 98 is being installed and the source drive where the Windows 98 installation files are located (drive assignment).
  • Creates the C:Wininst0.400 temporary directory and copies Mini.cab to it. Mini.cab contains the mini-Windows program files required by Setup.
  • Extracts all files in Precopy1.cab and Precopy2.cab to C:Wininst0.400. These are the files necessary to run Setup Wizard.
