Re: Client for Microsoft Networks

I had tried to uninstall and reinstall the Network Adapter before, and I
tried again, as you suggested, but no luck.
The problem is that I had accidentally uninstalled the Client for Microsoft
Networks, and now I can no longer reinstall, because of the error I said
below.
When I try to install, it gives me the option of "Have Disk" is it possible
to go around this error, if I copy the necessary files to a disk, and then
try installing? AND if so, what files do I need to copy?

Thanks,
Hersh
