SUMMARY
This article describes the steps to update a Run From Compact Disc installation of Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition with the Microsoft Office 98 Updater.

For additional information about the Microsoft Office 98 Updater, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
To obtain the Microsoft Office 98 Updater, see the Microsoft World Wide Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/macoffice/productinfo/98dl/offi98patch.htm

The Microsoft Office 98 Updater copies newer versions of the following files:

Microsoft Office First Run

Visual Basic for Applications

Microsoft PowerPoint

PP Translator 8-4

Since these files are located on the Microsoft Office 98 compact disc, the Microsoft Office 98 Updater cannot update these files. However, the Microsoft Office First Run file is responsible for updating the following OLE files located in the System Folder:Extensions folder:

Microsoft Component Library

Microsoft OLE Automation

Microsoft OLE Library

Microsoft Structured Storage

To update your Run From Compact Disc installation of Office 98 with the Microsoft Office 98 Updater, follow these steps:

 Open the Microsoft Office 98:Office folder on the Microsoft Office 98 CD. Drag the Microsoft Office First Run file to your desktop. Double-click Microsoft Office 98 Updater. In the dialog box that displays the Readme file for the Microsoft Office 98 Updater, click Continue. In the Microsoft Office 98 Updater dialog box, click Update. In the dialog box that indicates that the update was successful, click Continue. In the Microsoft Office First Run dialog box, click Install.

The first run installation process runs, and the appropriate files in the Extensions Folder are updated.

For additional information about the Microsoft Office 98 Updater, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

</li> In the dialog box that indicates that the installation was successful, click Quit.</li> Drag the Microsoft Office First Run file from your desktop to the Trash.</li></ol>

NOTE: If the first run installation process places the original OLE files listed in the "Summary" section of this article into your "System Folder:Extensions" folder, then you will need to run the Microsoft Office 98 Updater to get the latest version of the files.
