SYMPTOMS
When you perform an administrative installation of Microsoft Office 97, duplicate files are installed to the :\MSapps folder on the server.

NOTE: This is where the folder of files that will be shared by more than one user or computer is stored. This is the second destination folder that Microsoft Office 97 administrative mode setup requests (MSAPPS). This is not the Microsoft Office installation folder (MSOFFICE).



RESOLUTION
To remove the duplicate files, you can delete the following folder on the server.

  :\MSapps\Office

where  is the complete location of the administrative installation, including the network drive and any folders used.

NOTE: The default path is similar to the following:

  F:\MSapps\Office



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Office 97 for Windows.



MORE INFORMATION
The following is a list of duplicate files. The list of duplicate files is approximately 20 megabytes in size.
