WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

If you use the Word for Windows Setup program to perform a second (or subsequent) Workstation Installation and if the server location of Word is a different logical drive, none of the import filters, export filters, or OLE server applications runs correctly.

= CAUSE =

Setup does not update the WIN.INI entries with the new network drive.

Exception: Setup correctly modifies the WordDocument setting in the Embedding section of WIN.INI.

= STATUS =

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For example, if you originally installed Word on your workstation from drive E: and you later reinstalled Word from drive F:, Setup does not change the WIN.INI entries in the following sections from E: to F:


 * the Drawing, MSGraph, Equation, and WordArt entries.
 * [MS Graphic Export Filters]
 * [MS Graphic Import Filters]

If Word cannot find the filter or server application in the old location, an error occurs.
