ID: Q108003

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Office for Windows, version 4.0

SUMMARY

If you encounter problems or receive error messages either during or immediately after you install Microsoft Office version 4.0, the problem may be related to the SHARE.EXE program.

When you install Microsoft Office 4.0, the Microsoft Office Setup program attempts to modify the line that loads SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to


   <path>\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

where <path> is the drive and directory where the SHARE.EXE program is located. If this line is not already present, the Setup program will attempt to reload SHARE.EXE.
