OFF95: Missing Excel/Schedule+ Folder After Workstation Install

ID: Q132410

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Office for Windows 95, version 7.0
Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0
Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows, versions 95, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

When you perform a Run From Network Server installation of Microsoft Office, the following folders are created (in the folder to which you install Microsoft Office) on your local hard disk:

Office
PowerPoint
Templates
Winword

However, no folder is created for Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft Schedule+.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design of Microsoft Office. When you perform a "Run From Network Server" installation of Microsoft Office, Setup copies only the files and folders necessary to run Microsoft Office from the server to your local hard disk. Because there are no files necessary to copy to your local hard disk to run Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Schedule+, folders for these applications are not created.

Additionally, the default folder for saving data files in the Office applications is the "My Documents" folder. Therefore, it is not necessary for Setup to create a separate folder for each Office application in which to save your data files.
