Q73815

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, version 5.5

-

SUMMARY
Microsoft Word version 5.5 will not be able to run correctly from a network workstation if you have done the following to install Word 5.5 for workstation use:


 * 1) The Word 5.5 program files have been copied to a network file server using the Set Up Network option.
 * 2) A user on a network workstation ran SETUP.EXE from the network file server with the Setup User option.

As a result of doing the above steps, the following errors will be present in the network configuration of Word 5.5:


 * A built WORD.EXE program file that can be executed from network workstations will not be present on the network file server.
 * The directory path added to the end of the PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT will be incorrect.

These errors may result in the display of the error message &quot;Bad command or filename&quot; when a user on the network workstation tries to start Word.

To correctly install Word 5.5 for a network, run Setup from the network file server and choose to install on a network. Connect to the network file server, then run the Setup User program from the network workstation.
