SUMMARY
It is possible to run Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95 or Microsoft Publisher 97 on a workstation from a network server. You can also perform a local installation from that shared location.

Prior to performing these types of installations, you must run an administrative setup. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

152296 PUB: Installing Publisher to a Network Server or Shared Directory



MORE INFORMATION
To perform either a local or workstation installation of Microsoft Publisher from a shared folder, follow these instructions:  In Windows 95 or Windows NT 4, click Run on the Start menu.

If you are using Microsoft Windows NT 3.51, choose Run from the File menu in either Program Manager or File Manager. In the Open box in Windows 95 or the Command Line box in Windows NT, type the drive and the complete path to the folder where Publisher was installed on the server, followed by \setup

Example:

UNC path

\\MyServer\MyShare\Setup

or

Using a drive letter

S:\Setup

 Enter the user's name. Verify the Product Identification Number.

Setup asks for the destination folder for Publisher; the folder you specify here can be on the user's local hard disk or it can be a network drive on which the user has read, write, create, and delete privileges.

NOTE: Even if the software is not installed locally, Setup creates a small folder that contains some specific files for Publisher.  When you created the administrative installation point, if you elected to allow the user to choose where shared components are installed (the "User's Choice" option), the client Setup displays the following options for the user:   Server            Setup configures the user's system to point to the server share defined during administrative installation (the server location of the MSAPPS folder); the shared components will be accessed over the network.

Local hard disk  Setup copies the shared component files to the Windows\Msapps folder on the user's local hard disk.   Setup asks for one of three installation types: <pre class="fixed_text">  Complete          All options and components of Publisher are installation     installed to the user's local hard disk or                     network drive.

Custom           Setup displays a series of lists that allow the user installation     to choose which components are to be installed to the user's local drive or network drive.

Workstation      The main Publisher application files are left on the installation     server to be executed over the network. If the user chooses Custom Installation, Setup displays a series of lists so the user can choose which components to install. The first list contains the main Publisher components:

Publisher Program files

Automated Design and Instruction

Fonts

ClipArt and Papers

Graphics Filters

Text Converters

Microsoft Draw

Setup and Microsoft Info

For Text converters and Graphic filters, the user can select the Change Option button to view the list of sub-options within the component. For example, selecting Graphics Filters and clicking the Change Option button displays the list of graphics formats supported by filters available with Publisher.

For each option displayed in the list, a check mark next to the option indicates that the option will be installed; no check mark indicates that the option will not be installed. </li> Once the user chooses the installation type and options (if required), Setup starts copying files.</li></ol>
