This article was previously published under Q189642





SYMPTOMS
When you install PowerPoint on Windows NT Workstation version 3.51, the shared components (the OLE programs, the spell checker, and the graphics and text converters) are installed to the \Windows\Msapps folder. If you install PowerPoint on Windows 95, the shared components are installed to the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared folder.



CAUSE
Windows NT 3.51 does not use shared applications from the same location as Windows 95 (Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared). Shared components such as those that ship with PowerPoint are installed to the \Windows\Msapps folder.
