Q: The installation will not go past Disk 1. I get some weird error message
every time the installation program finishes copying some of the files from
the disk.
A: After completing the DOS portion of the install, the program tries to
execute the 'win' command to proceed into Windows. If the Windows directory
is not in the Path statement, the installation program gets "confused" and
does not know where to go.
Check the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and verify the path statement to the Windows
file directory. If it is not, add the appropriate directory to the end of
the Path line following this example: (This examples uses C:\Windows.)
Set Path=C:\DOS;C:\Windows
After saving the file and rebooting, test to make sure that Windows is now
in the path. You should be able to type WIN from any directory to go into
Windows. If you do get into Windows, exit and try the install again. If
you receive a message that says, "bad command or filename," then Windows
is still not in the Path.

Q: I followed the answer above and I still cannot get past Disk 1! What next?
A: In some cases, we have found you have to "trick" the system into doing the
Windows portion of the install. If you were unable to get the procedure
above to work, you can execute the "~DUTF.EXE" program from Disk 1 in
Windows. This program will install the Windows drivers for the Tropez and
take you through Disks 2, 3, & 4. Follow these steps for this procedure:
1. After entering Windows, select Run from the File menu in Program
Manager.
2. Type a:\ (or b:\) to signify the drive where you are loading the
Tropez from.
3. Click on Browse and highlight the ~DUFT.EXE file. Click on OK.
4. Click on OK again and the installation will continue.
