Installing office 4.0 - It doesn't know it has sare.exe
That's the error that is usually worked around by creating a dummy share.exe as i
described earlier. It's not working for you, obviously, but I don't know why. This page, http://kb.iu.edu/data/aglc.html suggests also adding this line to the end of the autoexec.bat, though I can't see what that would do: rem start.exe -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Leon Howell" wrote in message ... 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." ... Computers don't lie ... unless they feel like it. |

Installing office 4.0 - It doesn't know it has sare.exe
There were some applications that didn't look for SHARE.EXE in memory, but
simply checked that it was being loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT and therefore assumed it was running, Adding the entry is always recommended. You can take a do-nothing EXE from the DOS folder, copy it, and rename it to share.exe. It might have been MODE.EXE that was a popular choice, but a bit of experimenting should reveal a suitable candidate.. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "glee" wrote in message ...

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). -- Mikhail Zhilin MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User, 2000..2008) http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.
