SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Project 98 from an Administrative Installation Point on a server, you may receive the following error message
followed by the error message:
When you click the Ignore button, Setup will continue and Project will be able to run, but the Spelling tool will not work.
CAUSE
During the Administrative installation of Microsoft Project 98, you chose either Local or User's choice for the shared tools location. The error messages described in the SYMPTOMS section may occur when installing Project from that Administrative Installation Point. The setup program is looking for the spelling checker files in the wrong location.
WORKAROUND
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
- On the Workstation on which you installed Microsoft Project 98 and on which you received the errors messages, remove the Project Workstation installation. To do so, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon, click the Install/Uninstall tab, select Microsoft Project 98, and click the Add/Remove button.
- When prompted, click the Remove All button.
- On the Microsoft Project 98 Administrative Installation point on the server, copy the PROOF folder (this will copy the files noted in the error message) from the following folder
\MSAPPS
to:
\MSOFFICE\OS\MSAPPS
- Rerun the Workstation install. It will now be able to find the files listed in the error messages.
NOTE: The default directories created during the Administrative installation are \MSAPPS and \MSOffice. An additional MSAPPS folder is located under the folder \MSOffice\OS.
NOTE: After performing an Administrative installation, permissions for the installation point on the server should be set to Read Only. If users have Write permissions to the installation point, changes may be made that will impact all users of that intallation point.
