Works 95: Shared Components Remain on Server After Local Install

RESOLUTION

You must first run Works Setup, choosing Remove All, to clear the Registry entries pointing to the server and then install the files locally.

Install Works Locally

To remove and reinstall Works locally on the workstation do the following:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Works 4.0, and then click Microsoft Works 4.0 Setup.
2. Click Remove All.
3. When you receive messages to remove shared components, choose Remove All.
4. You may run Works Setup from the original disks after Setup is completed or if you chose User's Choice option during Administrative Setup, run Setup from the Works folder on the server.

If you have attempted to install the files locally, you must run Works Setup again and install the shared components on the server to correct the Windows Registry. Then run Works Setup and Remove All to remove the Registry entries before installing Works locally.

Install Shared Components on the Server

To install the shared components on the server, do the following:

1. Click Start, point to Programs and click Windows Explorer.
2. In the C:\Msworks\Setup40 folder, delete the file, Setup.stf.
3. Connect to the Msworks folder on the server and double-click on Setup.exe.
4. Click Install The Shared Components on the server.
5. After Setup is complete, follow the steps in the previous section to remove and reinstall Works locally.

NOTE: If you will be installing Works on the workstation and want to leave the program files on the server (for the Workstation option, not a Complete or Custom installation), you may need to run the Administrative Setup and choose Local or User's Choice options before installing the shared components on the workstation.
