SYMPTOMS

When Microsoft Publisher Setup has finished running, the Online Registration button may not appear in the Setup Was Completed Successfully dialog box; additionally, this button may not appear in the dialog box that appears when you run Setup in maintenance mode.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if you have already successfully registered the program. This may also occur if the file (Regwiz.exe) supplied by Windows 95 is missing from the Windows\System folder.

RESOLUTION

If the Regwiz.exe file is missing from the Windows\System folder, replace it by either reinstalling Windows 95, or by extracting the file from your Windows 95 installation media. Regwiz.exe is located on the following disks:

   Non-DMF Floppy      Win95_12.cab of Disk 12
   DMF Floppy          Win95_08.cab of Disk 8
   CD-ROM              Win95_07.cab

After Regwiz.exe has been replaced, run Publisher Setup and click the Online Registration button in the maintenance mode setup dialog box.
