249974 2004-07-05 08:33:00 Anyone managed to install this on Wxp Pro? Get the error "can't find wmsset32.dll" Google didn't help. It is not on the CD.

249976 2004-07-05 08:45:00 Not on the CD? Really?


Directory of D:\Office\WMS\WinNT

. <DIR>
.. <DIR>
CMC DLL
MAPI DLL
MAPI32 DLL
MAPISRVR EXE
MDISP32 EXE
MDISP32 TLB
MSPST32 DLL
NEWPROF EXE
SCANPST EXE
SCANPST HLP
WMSSET32 DLL

The error can be due to several reasons, including incompatable CD Drive, dirty CD, etc.

These appear to be covered on Google.

The program should run fine on XP.

249977 2004-07-05 09:45:00 Thanks GF - My CD does not have the first 3 or MSPST32 DLL and WMSSET32 DLL. Have tried on 3 CD readers on 2 computers. Has always installed OK on this one running W98se, but doesn't on one I'm setting up with Win XP - thinking of putting on Open Office instead.

249978 2004-07-05 10:53:00 There is something amiss with your copy of Office 97?

I have checked mine, and also checked on the correct contents from the web.

Both agree with what was posted, and I run Office 97 on one PC here under XP

249980 2004-07-05 20:56:00 I've had situations where the Office 97 CD complains about missing files (mostly pictures, I think) and I click ignore and it is fine.
Can you try that?

249981 2004-07-05 21:56:00 Thanks for your replys - both the win95 and winnt folders are missing 5 files - odd it works fine with both W95 & W98se. Only thought that I have, is to copy it to the HD and try finding the missing files on the net, and add them to that folder. Would this work? Robo - no option to ignore.

249982 2004-07-06 01:23:00 Egg on my face - the files are there, just that explorer was minus the tick to show hidden files etc - My son altering things again!! Still no luck on installing though. Thanks for the help.

249983 2004-07-06 01:53:00 Hi Peter,
I'm on WinXP and have installed Word only from the MS office 97 . It installed with no problem at all .

Have you tried just installing one program at a time, eg . just install Word first, then do the others . That way you might be able to see if its one particular part of Office that is playing up . But good luck anyway
