I am attempting to install a printer to my pc running Win98SE. Going thru
Settings/Printers/Add Printer, the Add Printer Wizard id's the LPT1: ECP
Printer Port. On the next step a window pops up-- "Insert Disk Labeled
Win98----", and I insert the OEM Win98 disk. And then -- the problem: The
system can't find "Finstall.dll" looking in D:\INSTALLS\WINCABS\98SE.

I am stuck. I am unable to install any printer.

Search your computer for a DRIVER11.CAB file.

Point the install to that drive.
