= SYMPTOMS =

When you run the Microsoft Project Setup program, the dialog box that prompts you for the directory to which you want to install the application may appear incorrectly.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs if you have Super Boomerang (a utility that ships with Now Utilities) installed on your system. The menu bar of the dialog box that asks you for the directory to which you want to install Microsoft Project may appear incorrectly when you run Microsoft Project Setup.

= WORKAROUND =

To avoid this problem, and any other extension conflict that may occur with Microsoft Project Setup, start your system with the extensions off before you run Microsoft Project Setup. To do this, press and hold down the SHIFT key while you restart your computer. Continue to hold down the SHIFT key until you receive the message “Extensions are off.”

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
