SYMPTOMS
When you run an administrative setup of Microsoft Office 7.0 on a Windows 95 workstation to an NT Server, you receive the following error message

The specified folder:

"y:\ "

is invalid, incomplete, too long, or write-protected.

Enter a full path with the drive letter; for example, 'c:\apps'.

where is a folder name that contains a space or is longer than eight characters.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you choose to install Office to a folder with a long name or a name that includes spaces. The same error occurs when you run Setup on an NT workstation.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, install Office either to a folder with a short name or to a folder whose name does not contain spaces.
