= SYMPTOMS =

When you try to install Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95, you may receive a message stating that you need to run Setup with the /F switch. However, when you run Setup with the /F switch, you receive the following error message:

Setup error 544 Setup is unable to open the data file ‘F:~MSSETUP.T~PP.T.stf’. Run Setup again from where you originally ran it.

= CAUSE =

This problem can occur if you try to install Microsoft Plus! on a local or network drive running Windows 95 without long filename support. Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 requires long filename support.

= RESOLUTION =

Restart your computer and run Setup again. Choose to install Microsoft Plus! on a drive that supports long filenames.

Note that it may be necessary to remove the folder specified in the error message before you can run Microsoft Plus! Setup successfully.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Although Microsoft Plus! Setup performs a system check to see if long filenames are supported, it does not check network drives for long filename support.
