APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Standard Edition, when used with:
- Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5
This article was previously published under Q189642
SYMPTOMS
When you install PowerPoint on Windows NT Workstation version 3.51, the
shared components (the OLE programs, the spell checker, and the graphics
and text converters) are installed to the \Windows\Msapps folder. If you
install PowerPoint on Windows 95, the shared components are installed to
the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared folder.
CAUSE
Windows NT 3.51 does not use shared applications from the same location
as Windows 95 (Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared). Shared
components such as those that ship with PowerPoint are installed to
the \Windows\Msapps folder.
