TITLE   :Setup May Not Find Existing Applications
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

---------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you re-install Windows NT, Setup may not find applications on an
NTFS drive.

CAUSE
=====

If a file exists on an NTFS drive and the administrator does not have
read privileges to that file, Setup will stop reading files and return
a blank dialog box (instead of a dialog box with applications that can
be installed).

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, continue installing Windows NT. Log on as
administrator and take ownership of all files. Run Setup, and choose
Setup Applications.

STATUS
======

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