Sometimes the Workstation Installation option does not appear when you run the Word for Windows Setup program after you ran a successful Server Installation. This usually happens for one of the following two reasons:

  1. You did not choose the Server Installation option the first time you ran Setup.

    After a successful server installation, the Word for Windows program directory should contain 76 files and 10 subdirectories. If the directory contains a different number of files and subdirectories, you may have problems when you run the Setup program again. If your Word for Windows directory does not contain the correct number of files and directories, run another server installation, then run a workstation installation.

  2. Setup did not correctly update the WWORD20.INF file.

    During the server installation, Setup should have added three items to the WWORD20.INF file:

          [Workstation] section
    

          User name
    

          Company name
    

    If Setup did not add the [Workstation] section, you can add it to the end of WWORD20.INF using any text editor. The entry should read as follows:

          [Workstation]
          Yes
    

    This setting causes Setup to offer the Workstation Installation option even if you did not previously run a server installation. Be sure to run a server installation before running a workstation installation.
