PRJ98: Setup.wri has Wrong Steps for Workgroup Message Handler

ID: q177025

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

The instructions in the "Install the Workgroup Message Handler" section of the Setup.wri file incorrectly states that you should copy the following files to a single floppy disk:

Extract.exe
Prj98_1.cab
Setup.ini
WGSetup.exe
WGSetup.inf
WGSetup.1st
WGSetup.stf
You cannot copy all of these files to a single floppy disk because their combined file size exceeds the amount of free space available on the disk.


RESOLUTION

The Extract.exe file is not needed to install the workgroup message handler, so you do not need to copy this file to a disk. Copy the following files to the first floppy disk:

Prj98_1.cab
Setup.ini
WGSetup.exe
WGSetup.inf
WGSetup.1st
WGSetup.stf
Copy the following file to the second floppy disk:
Prj98_2.cab
You will now be able to use the two disks as described in the Setup.Wri file.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service Release 1 (SR-1).
