Publisher: Installing with Setup /N from MS-DOS Doesn't Work

= Publisher: Installing with Setup /N from MS-DOS Doesn't Work =

Q102095
--- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher version 2.0 ---

SYMPTOMS

=
Microsoft Publisher allows you to perform a network workstation installation of a shared copy of Publisher by running Setup with the appropriate command line switch:

setup.exe /n

When you run this command from Program Manager or File Manager, it works fine; however, the following error message is generated when this command is run from an MS-DOS command prompt:

This program requires Microsoft Windows

A stand-alone installation or network administrator installation of Publisher will run from MS-DOS by automatically launching Windows. This problem only occurs when doing a network workstation installation of a shared copy of Publisher.

WORKAROUND

=
Run the workstation installation from either Program Manager or File Manager.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
