= SYMPTOMS =

When you attempt to install PowerPoint 3.0 for Windows on a computer that already has PowerPoint 4.0 installed on it, you will receive the following error message:

Script or DLL has been corrupted. Unable to load dialog template ‘mscuistf.dll:0’.

This error occurs when PowerPoint 3.0 Setup encounters a later version of the file POWERPNT.EXE.

= RESOLUTION =

To allow PowerPoint 3.0 to install correctly, you can perform the following steps: 1. In File Manager, double-click the Folder icon that represents your PowerPoint 4.0 directory. 2. In the PowerPoint 4.0 directory, select the file called POWERPNT.EXE. Choose Rename from the File menu. 3. In the File Rename dialog box, type a name such as POWERPNT.BAK in the To field. 4. Choose OK, then exit File Manager.

You will now be able to install PowerPoint 3.0 successfully. After you have completed installation, you can change the name of POWERPNT.BAK back to POWERPNT.EXE.
