Note that for Win95 users (A) (B) and (C) all require that copies of the Windows setup files (.CABs) be stored in C:\Windows\Options\Cabs on the hard drive.
On systems where this is not the case option (D) is suggested however option (B) can be used by inserting a Windows 95 Companion CD and substituting the following command in step (2):
EXTRACT /A G:\WIN95\WIN95_03.CAB DISKCOPY.DLL /L C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
(again assumes a CD-ROM Drive G:, adjust if needed)
