What is the *exact* error message you are getting, and when?


After I select full instalation and answer the questions about Lotus-123
support, it says "Setup was unable to find SHARE.EXE on your system. It is
required to run this application. Please fix your system and rerun Setup" I
click OK and it says Microsoft Office Setup was not completed successfuly."


Leon,

You can try (assuming your Windows folder is C:\WINDOWS; otherwise use
its actual name):

1. Open Notepad, and simply save this empty file as
"C:\WINDOWS\SHARE.EXE" (with the double quotes you see here -- it is
obligatory in this case),

2. If that won't help -- don't touch the saved file, open (Start --
Run... Sysedit) Autoexec.bat, and add the last line to it:

C:\WINDOWS\SHARE.EXE

Close Autoexec.bat with saving (a few other files opened by Sysedit --
without saving).
