SYMPTOMS
When you install Office 7.0, the Setup program may fail after the program installs the Lotus Notes .dll files.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the following conditions are met:
 * Your Lotus Notes folder (directory) exists on the server. -and-


 * You do not have write permission to the Notes folder on the server. -and-


 * You install Office 7.0.

The behavior occurs because you are running a shared installation of Lotus Notes and you have read-only access to the shared Lotus Notes folder. During installation, Setup detects Lotus Notes, and attempts to install four .dlls to the Lotus Notes directory. Because you do not have write permission, Setup cannot install the files, and Setup fails.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, have someone who has both read and write permissions to the Lotus Notes folder install Office 7.0. You can then install Office to your workstation successfully.



MORE INFORMATION
The Setup program attempts to install the following files:

_Msimp32.dll

_Ixls.dll

_Xxls.dll

Mscthunk.dll
