SYMPTOMS
The Programs.txt files included with Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition contain the fefollowing incorrect information about the Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 1 (SR-1) Patch:   Microsoft Office 97 Service Releases (patches) --  If Windows 95 and Office 97 are installed on your computer and you then upgrade to Windows 98, the Office 97 Service Release 1 patch cannot be installed on your system. However, if you install the Office 97 Service Release 1 patch before you upgrade to Windows 98, the patch should work correctly. An Office 97 Service Release 2 patch is planned for release in  Summer 1998. The Service Release 2 patch can be used on both Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems. The latest Office 97 Service Release patches can be found at  http://www.microsoft.com/msoffice/office97/servicerelease/default.asp



CAUSE
This information only applies to earlier version of the Office 97 SR-1 Patch. An updated SR-1 patch, now available from the Microsoft web site, prevents these problems from occurring.



RESOLUTION
The latest Office 97 Service Release patches can be installed from the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=BEFD7842-602E-42B0-89D2-6BE39F1167C1

Both the SR-2 patch and the updated SR-1 patch can be installed on Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
