SYMPTOMS

When you run the Setup program on the Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95 compact disc, you may receive the following message during setup:

MSJTRCLR.DLL was unable to register itself in the system registry


CAUSE

The error may occur on a system running Windows NT version 3.51 if you do not have the appropriate permissions set.



This problem may also occur when you run the Setup program on the Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95 compact disc after removing Microsoft Office Standard for Windows 95.


WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the appropriate method below.

Method 1

If you are using Windows NT version 3.51, contact your system administrator to ensure that you have the proper privileges and permissions set for your system.

Method 2

If you installed Office Professional over Office Standard, remove all of the Office Standard files from your computer, restart the computer in Safe Mode using the Safe Mode CD-ROM drivers, and reinstall Microsoft Office Professional. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Move any documents you want to save into a temporary folder, or back up the documents.


  2. Delete the Msoffice and the Program Files\Common Files folders.


  3. Delete the following Office Standard files from the Windows\System folder, where Windows refers to your Windows folder:

  4. If it is absent, add the following line to the Autoexec.bat file in order to make the real mode CD-ROM driver available:
    
          C:\Windows\Command\Mscdex.exe /s 
    NOTE: This line must refer to the Command folder in the Windows folder.

    The line in the Autoexec.bat file on your computer may be different from the one above because the CD-ROM Setup program may add switches to the line. For example, the line might look similar to the following:
    
           C:\Windows\Command\Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /v /m:15 


  5. Verify that the Real Mode driver for the CD-ROM drive is noted in the Config.sys file. The easiest way to add the line is to run the CD-ROM Setup program.

    NOTE: If these drivers were already installed when you installed Windows 95, they may still be in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, but they may be remarked out.


  6. Disable the CD-ROM drive in Device Manager. To do so, follow these steps:

    1. Double-click My Computer.


    2. Double-click Control Panel.


    3. Double-click the System icon.


    4. Click the Device Manager tab.


    5. Click the CD-ROM drive, and then click the Properties button. Note that you may need to expand a branch of the hardware tree by double-clicking the branch or by clicking the plus sign (+) to the left of the branch before you can click the CD-ROM drive.

      NOTE: If the CD-ROM drive is on its own controller, you may also need to disable the controller. To do so, follow the steps above but choose the CD-ROM controller card in Step e.


    6. Click the Original Configuration (Current) check box to remove the check mark.


    7. Click OK.


    8. Click OK.


    9. When the message "Starting Windows 95" appears, press F8.




  7. Click Command Prompt Only.


  8. To start Windows in Safe Mode with access to the CD-ROM drive, type the following at the command prompt:
    Win /d:m


  9. Run the Setup program on the Microsoft Office Professional compact disc.



MORE INFORMATION

Two driver files are required to access a CD-ROM drive in real mode. These files include a real-mode driver supplied by the CD-ROM drive manufacturer (which must be loaded in the Config.sys file), and the Mscdex.exe file (which must be loaded in the Autoexec.bat file).
