    Hello
    I need a little help. I am preparing to take the CompTia A+ exam and have a question.
    Some references that I come across reference upgrading windows 98 to Windows 2000 by using the winnt.exe on the Windows 2000 CD and some state using the winnt32.exe file to do the upgrade.
    Some references state that if upgrading from 95a then use the winnt.exe and anything else use the winnt32.exe file.
    I am all confused because different references give different solutions.
    Any help on the real answer would be greatly appreciated!

    I've installed Win2k a few times via DOS and used winnt.exe to launch the install.

    If I'm not mistaken, winnt32.exe is the GUI version used when booting off the cd.
