SYMPTOMS
The instructions in the "Run the Client Installation in Batch Mode" section of the Setup.wri file incorrectly lists the following command lines:

Typical setup /Q1 /B1

Complete setup /Q1 /B3

Workstation setup /Q1 /B4

Uninstall setup /Q1 /U

Using the /B3 switch will actually result in a Workstation installation and using the /B4 will actually result in a Typical installation.

NOTE: In Project 98 SR-1, the /B3 switch will result in a Workstation install and as stated in the Setup.wri the /B4 switch will result in a Workstation install.



WORKAROUND
Use the following switches when you perform a client installation in batch mode, installing Microsoft Project from a server:

Typical setup /Q1 /B1

Complete setup /Q1 /B2

Workstation setup /Q1 /B3

Uninstall setup /Q1 /U

For more information about setting up Microsoft Project 98, refer to the file named Setup.wri. This file is usually installed in the default Microsoft Project folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

Note that the folder name will be different if you did not select the default location during setup.

NOTE: In Project 98 SR-1, Setup.wri still includes incorrect switches, use the following switches:

Typical setup /Q1 /B1

Complete setup /Q1 /B2

Workstation setup /Q1 /B4

Uninstall setup /Q1 /U

NOTE: In SR-1, the /B3 switch will also result in a Workstation install, however other problems may be associated with it's use and it is recommended to avoid using that switch.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service Release 1 (SR-1).
