I am not sure, but maybe your file is corrupt. You can install PWS off the Windows 98 Installation CD. I did (many times in fact) and it has worked flawless.

I doubt that's the answer, but you never know.

What version of PWS are you installing? Did you download the Windows NT Option Pack for Windows 95 from Microsoft?

I downloaded PWS from microsofts website and went to install it and came up with the error:

"Winsock2 required to install, PLease click OK"

So I got out and old ISP CD which had loads of little extra things on it as well as a Winsock2 upgrade, SO I installed the upgrade and still get the error!

can anyone help me
or where do I get Winsock2 from

PS:
I am running Windows95 and Internet Explorer 5

thanx

I downloaded the one from microsoft:
Personal Web Server for Windows 95

[daniel_eastley]

oh and it's version 4 that I downloaded,

+ I borrowed a friends windows 98 CD to install it but it said you NEED windows 98 and I only have 95 - I couldn't be bothered to go through the hassle on installing windows again

go to the Windows 95 download site at http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/

At the very bottom of the page are 2 updates for your Winsock. One is Winsock 2.0 and the other is a fix for a memory leak in the TCP/IP stack.

At the middle of the page are two dial-up networking updates. One adds new features and the other is a Y2K update.

You will need to install all four of these. You have to install them in order as well.

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Winsock 2 Update
<LI>Winsock & TCP/IP Memory fix
<LI>DUN 1.3
<LI>DUN 1.3 Y2K fix.
</UL>

All of these were released near the same time as Windows 98 so probably don't appear on to many old Windows 95 disks.
