SYMPTOMS
If you perform an administrative installation of the Word 97 import converter for Word 6.x and 7.x and then run the Setup.exe, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you make the directory containing the expanded files from Wrd97cnv.exe read-only.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.
The converter will be installed correctly if the share permissions are set to include "Change" (RWXD).
Method 2: Change the File Permissions
Rather then setting the share to read-only, you can set the individual file permissions in the share to read-only, leaving the share with "Change" permissions.
REFERENCES
The converter is also available for download from the Microsoft Software Library. For more information about how to obtain the converter, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
