It cannot be run from inside Windows or from MS-DOS Prompt under Windows. To install the Productivity Pack, first exit Windows completely. To run Setup, do the following: 1. If you have 5.25-inch disks, switch to the drive containing Setup Disk 1. If you have 3.5-inch disks, switch to the drive containing Setup Disk 1 and Setup Disk 2. 2. From the MS-DOS command prompt of that drive, type "setup" (without the quotation marks). MORE INFORMATION ================ If you type "a:setup" from the MS-DOS command prompt on drive C, the Bad Command or File Name error message is generated. If you attempt to run the Productivity Pack for Windows Setup program from inside Windows, your system will do the following: 1. Attempt to start the Setup program on the disk and fail. 2. Scan your hard drive for a Windows program named Setup. 3. Find the Windows Setup utility. NOTES ----- If you attempt to run the Productivity Pack for Windows Setup program from Windows, you will instead be offered the dialog box where you can change your device driver settings for Windows. Running the Productivity Pack for Windows Setup program from MS-DOS under Windows may appear to work correctly. However, it can cause incorrect or corrupted installations of the Productivity Pack. The correct instructions are included on the disk label and in the "Set up & Learn" documentation included with the Productivity Pack for Windows. If the instructions are followed precisely, there should be no problems with installation.
