WINDOWS
| The information in this article applies to: |
| - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1 |
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.
