4.20 WINDOWS kbsetup

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Office for Windows, version 4.2

SUMMARY

When you run the Microsoft Office version 4.2 Setup program, and you install the application to the directory the contains Microsoft Office version 4.0, the following files that are included in version 4.0, but are not included in version 4.2 are not removed from your Microsoft Office directory:

   OFF40_BB.DLL
   \CLIPART\OFF40ART.IDX
   \EXCEL\QEDBF.DLL
   \EXCEL\QEORA.DLL
   \EXCEL\QERDB.DLL
   \EXCEL\QESS.DLL
   \EXCEL\QETXT.DLL
   \EXCEL\QEXLA.DLL
   \EXCEL\QEXLS.DLL
   \EXCEL\SQSAPIW.DLL
   \EXCEL\W3DBLIB.DLL
   \EXCEL\EXCELDE.EXE
   \EXCEL\QE.EXE
   \EXCEL\QE.HLP

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is by design. The files that are left in the Microsoft Excel directory are files that are installed by Microsoft Excel version 4.0, that are not removed when you install Microsoft Excel 5.0. These files that are left are for the Dialog Editor, and the Microsoft Q+E applications. You can still use these applications with Microsoft Excel version 5.0, however the functionality that these applications provide has been replaced by dialog sheets, and Microsoft Query, included with Microsoft Excel version 5.0.
