Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.



SYMPTOMS
The Workstation Installation option is not available when you are trying to set up a workstation after setting up a DEC Pathworks server using the SETUP /A command.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, place a semicolon at the beginning of the following line in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table File] section of your WIN.INI file:

  MSACCESS.EXEv2.00.0010.0USA=C:\ACCESS\SETUP\setup.stf



MORE INFORMATION
When you try to set up a network installation of Microsoft Access to a DEC Pathworks workstation that already has Microsoft Access installed locally, the local Setup always runs, even though you are connected to a server and running Setup from a shared network directory.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Install Microsoft Access locally on a DEC Pathworks workstation.
 * 2) From the workstation, install Microsoft Access to a DEC Pathworks server using the SETUP /A command.
 * 3) Connect to the server from the workstation and run Setup from the server. Instead of the Setup screen that you expect, the installation maintenance program screen appears.
