Do I really need my Windows CD to install EnterNet?

Only rarely. During the installation of software that makes changes to Windows network properties (as does EnterNet), the Windows operating system wants to copy files from the Windows installation CD that may already be present on your hard drive. If during EnterNet installation you are prompted for your Windows CD and you don’t have it handy, try pointing the installer to the directory where Windows is installed (Usually “Windows”, “WIN98”, or something similar). If the installer does not find the files there, try directing the installer to look in the “System” subdirectory of your Windows installation directory. You will probably need to bounce back and forth three or four times between these two directories before Windows finds all the files it is looking for. Starting with version 1.4, support was added by EnterNet to copy the required files automatically without having to place the cd. But occasionally an unusual system configuration will still require the cd.
