NTDETECT.COM and INSTALLD.CMD Do Not Exist in Resource Kit

 Last reviewed: March 21, 1997
Article ID: Q126053

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit version 3.51

SYMPTOM

The Resource Kit Tools for Microsoft Windows NT Help file (RKTOOLS.HLP) lists a tool called "NTDETECT.COM: Startup Hardware Detector" in the Setup and Troubleshooting Tools section. When you choose it to find more information, the following two statements are displayed:

  • At the command prompt, switch to the \RESKIT directory where the Resource Guide utilities are installed, and type INSTALLD.
  • Files required for NTDetect: 

          INSTALLD.CMD
      NTDETECT.COM

The two files, INSTALLD.CMD and NTDETECT.COM, do not exist in the RESKIT directory. They also do not exist in the source compact disc or disks of the Windows NT 3.51 Resource Kit.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51 Resource Kit. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
