SYMPTOMS
If you run the Value Pack Installer in Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition, select the Business Tools And Templates check box, and then click Install, you may receive the following error message:

No installation was necessary. The files to be installed are already on your disk, or are not needed for your hardware setup.

If you are finished, click Quit to leave the Installer. If you wish to perform additional installations, click Continue.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you have renamed or deleted the following folder on your hard disk:

Microsoft Office 98:Templates

For example, if you rename the folder named "Templates" to My Templates, the problem occurs.



RESOLUTION
To install the Business Tools And Templates components, do either of the following:
 * Rename the original folder back to Templates . Then, run the Value Pack Installer, select the Business Tools And Templates check box, and then click Install. -or-
 * In the Microsoft Office 98 folder, create a new folder named Templates . Then, run the Value Pack Installer, select the Business Tools And Templates check box, and then click Install.

After you install the templates, you can move all of the folders and files from the Templates folder into the folder that you want to use.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed above.



MORE INFORMATION
The Business Tools And Templates option in the Microsoft Office 98 Value Pack includes the Business Guide, checklists that complement the Business Guide, and 43 small business templates for Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Because of the way in which the Value Pack Installer is designed, it can install only the Business Tools And Templates files if the Templates folder exists in the Microsoft Office 98 folder on your hard disk. If this folder has been deleted or renamed, none of the files are installed, and you receive the error message that is described in this article.

For more information about the Business Tools and Templates, please open the "About the Value Pack" Help file in the Value Pack folder on your Microsoft Office 98 compact disc; then, click Value Pack Components and click Business Tools And Templates.
