DOCUMENT:Q159480 16-APR-2000 [powerpt] TITLE :PPT7: Can't Unpack File To Folder With Extended Characters PRODUCT :Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows PROD/VER:WINDOWS:7.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbpng ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you try to unpack a presentation that was packed with the Pack And Go Wizard to a folder whose name contains extended or international characters, you receive an error message similar to this: Pack and Go Setup was unable to install the presentation. This disk may be full, you may not have write permission for '', or it may already contain a presentation with the same name. This message occurs if the folder does not exist. If the folder already exists, you receive this error: The directory '' does not exist. Would you like to create it? If you click OK, the presentation may install to the correct folder; however. Pngsetup.exe may also create a corrupt folder on the same drive. CAUSE ===== Pngsetup.exe (the file that unpacks a Pack and Go presentation) is a 16-bit program that can run under Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or Windows NT. Pngsetup.exe does not support folder names with extended characters. RESOLUTION ========== When you run Pngsetup.exe, choose a folder whose name does not contain extended or international characters in which to unpack the presentation. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
