OFF97: Files Copied Twice During an Administrative Installation (188393)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q188393

SYMPTOMS

When you perform an administrative installation of Microsoft Office 97, duplicate files are installed to the <Network Path>:\MSapps folder on the server.

NOTE: This is where the folder of files that will be shared by more than one user or computer is stored. This is the second destination folder that Microsoft Office 97 administrative mode setup requests (MSAPPS). This is not the Microsoft Office installation folder (MSOFFICE).

RESOLUTION

To remove the duplicate files, you can delete the following folder on the server. 
   <Network Path>:\MSapps\Office

where <Network Path> is the complete location of the administrative installation, including the network drive and any folders used.

NOTE: The default path is similar to the following: 
   F:\MSapps\Office

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Office 97 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The following is a list of duplicate files. The list of duplicate files is approximately 20 megabytes in size.
