DESCRIPTION

After applying Service Pak XR06200 and attempting to do a Selective 
Install of WIN-OS/2 support, the following error message is received:

   SYS1217: The file cannot be decompressed with this version
   of the OS/2 UNPACK command.

RESOLUTION

The UNPACK command does not cause the problem because both the GA 
version and the Service Pak version work manually. You need to copy 
INSTALL.EXE from the OS/2 2.1 GA diskettes to the \OS2\INSTALL directory
after the Service Pak is installed.

1. Insert the following OS/2 2.1 GA diskette in drive A:

   * Blue label: Diskette 4
   * Salmon label: Diskette 3

2. At an OS/2 Window command prompt, type CD OS2\INSTALL and press
   Enter.

3. Type UNPACK A:\BUNDLE /N:INSTALL.EXE and press Enter to copy
   INSTALL.EXE to the hard disk.

4. Open OS/2 System.

5. Open System Setup.

6. Select Selective Install.

7. Select WIN-OS/2 Support and complete the installation.
