Troubleshooting the Office Classroom Tools Installer

If you receive an error message when you run the installer program, disable unnecessary extensions and run the installer again. By disabling unnecessary extensions, you eliminate the possibility that an extension conflict is causing the problem. To do this, follow these steps:

 1. On the Apple menu, point to Control Panels, and then click Extensions
    Manager.

 2. Click Duplicate Set. Name this set "My Set" (without the quotation
    marks). Click OK.

 3. Click Duplicate Set. Name this set "CD ROM only" (without the quotation
    marks). Click OK.

 4. Clear the check box next to the item labeled Control Panels.

 5. Clear the check box next to the item labeled Extensions.

 6. Select the extension labeled Apple CD-ROM.

    NOTE: You may not have an extension labeled Apple CD-ROM. Please check
    your hardware documentation for the name of your CD-ROM driver, and
    then select this item in the Extensions Manager dialog box.

 7. Select any other items listed in the Extensions Manager dialog box that
    are required to start your Macintosh computer. Please check your
    hardware documentation for details about items that must be enabled to
    start your computer.

    NOTE: Locate your Macintosh operating system CD in the event that the
    computer cannot be restarted from the hard disk. If you cannot restart
    the computer from the hard disk, you can use your system CD to restart
    the computer.

 8. Click Restart.

    The computer is restarted. You can then try to run the installer.

 9. After the installer is finished, click Quit.

10. On the Apple menu, click Control Panels.

11. Double-click Extensions Manager.

12. Click My Set in the Selected Set list.

13. Click Restart.

After the computer is restarted, the list of loaded extensions and control panels is the same as the list that was present before you followed these steps.

If you have performed these steps and still cannot run the installer, manually install the components. The following sections explain how to manually install each component.
