= SYMPTOMS =

The Microsoft Works 4.0 Power Macintosh Administrative Setup offers two options. The first option allows you to install a copy of Works 4.0 to a workstation from the server. The second option allows you to run Works 4.0 directly from the server. If you choose the second option, the following message appears on a Power Macintosh:

Microsoft Works for Power Macintosh Setup does not support installing Works to run from a server. Please refer to the Read Me for more information.

Setup then stops.

= RESOLUTION =

Use the following instructions to install to a Network Server.

NOTE: To share Works from a server, the workstation machines must be Power Macintosh systems or have a PowerPC upgrade card. If a network administrator needs to set up Works for the Power Macintosh to run from a server, do the following:

  Install Works for the Power Macintosh on a Power Macintosh.   Move the Works Folder to the server.   Create a folder on the server (which is easily accessed by the workstations) that contains the following files:  Microsoft OLE Extension Microsoft OLE Library Works Reminder Works Wizards Fonts

NOTE: Items a, b, and c are in the System/Extensions folder. Item d is in the System/Fonts folder. </li>  From each workstation, copy these items from the server into the local System folder. </li>  Choose OK when prompted to place items into the correct folders. </li>  Restart the local workstation. </li></ol>
