SYMPTOMS
When using Package Command Manager (PCM) to install an application like
Microsoft Office 4.2c, ACMEWKST will not detect previous installations of
the application(s). This makes it very difficult to upgrade existing
applications. Currently, ACMEWKST will install the application to the drive
with the most free space. If the drive with the most free space is not the
same drive where the application to be upgraded is installed, you end up
with two installations of the application, one on each drive.
CAUSE

this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific
problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that
