Default Installing office 4.0 - It doesn't know it has sare.exe

You probably need to add the C:\DOS\ folder to your path variable. When
you application's setup looks for SHARE.EXE through DOS it looks for
executables like Share.exe in the folders listed in the Path variable
(the folder paths in the variable are separated by ; ) when it doesn't
find them in the folder with the application's setup (or install)
executable.


I tried that and it didn't work. Does Win98SE even use Config.sys and
Autoexec.bat? Does it keep them in the root directory?

By the way, who said I was using a DOS application? Share.exe was in the
C:\DOS directory under windows 3.11, so that's where I put it on the '98 pee
sea. MS Office is a Windows package. 4.0 is a 3.11 compatible version, but
shouldn't everything be compatible?
