I run into a problem, and don't know how to fix it.
Whenever I change network settings, or install Ethernet drivers, I'm presented with "Please insert Windows 95 Setup Disk NN", and not "Please insert Windows 95 CDROM". Of course pointing to CDROM drive letter does not work, CDROM has CAB files, not extracted files, like netapi.dll.
I traced it to C:\Windows\inf\layout.inf, and indeed it looks like system was installed using floppies, not CD (I did install using CD...). Check this post: https://forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/comme … /#Comment_99722
I cannot install anything right now, I extracted some cab files using 7Zip, this works, but painful. I would like to fix it permanently. How people get correct layout.inf? I checked precopy1.cab files on different iso, they all look like made for floppy installs...
Desperate 😀
EDIT: Copying CDRom to hard drive and installing Win95 from hard drive fixes the issue. But not sure how, the c:\windows\inf\layout.inf still looks like for floppy setup disks...
