SYMPTOMS

When you run the Setup program for any of the products listed above on
Portuguese Brazilian Windows 95 version 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a, you may receive
the following error message and Setup may then end:

   This product ships with the matching localized language version of Service
   Pack 3 for Windows NT 4. The localized version of your installed windows
   Operating system does not match the localized language version of this
   product. We recommend that you quit setup and install service pack 3 for
   Windows NT 4 from another source. You may find it at
   http://www.microsoft.com. Re-rerun Setup after applying the service pack and
   rebooting your PC.

CAUSE
=====

The Setup programs for the programs listed above check the operating system
version in the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber

In Portuguese Brazilian Windows 95 version 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a, the key value
is "4.00.722." The Setup programs require version 4.00.950 or later.

RESOLUTION
==========

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems
that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, change the VersionNumber value in the following registry
key from "4.00.722" to "4.00.950":

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
