15257 2001-07-09 08:51:00 I am using Windows 95 and office 2000 and am trying to install version 3 of msworks. I get a message saying the file share.exe is needed to run the program but it is not available and I should fix my system! Where do I find this file and why would it not be already on my computer?

15258 2001-07-09 10:29:00 Unfortunately the version of MSWorks you are trying to load is for Windows 3.x, and share.exe is from DOS 6.22 and earlier. Share.exe is not supported in Win 95/98/ME.

It's just possible that a fake share.exe made by opening Notepad and saving the empty file as share.exe, and putting it the root directory, ie c:\, could enable MSWorks to load, but I havent tried it to see.

Ideally you should get a later version of MSWorks.

Cheers

I do remember having the same trouble with other win3.1 apps, so you should be able to find a more general solution. Unfortunatly it was 5 years ago so i cant remember how the problem was fixed.
