 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Word 6.0 for Windows, the shared components may be incorrectly
installed locally on a workstation even though the administrator chose
Server or User's Choice as the location for shared components during
the administrative install ("setup /a").
 
CAUSE
=====
 
If you run Setup from the server itself, the Setup program displays a
message indicating that it could not detect a network server and path
for the Word program directory. If you continue setting up, all
workstations set up from that network server will get local copies of
shared components.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To install Word on a server, run the Setup program from a workstation
connected to the server. You should not run a server installation of
Word from the server itself unless you intend to install the shared
components locally on each workstation.
 
For more information and specific instructions on installing Word to a
network server, choose "Search for Help on" from the Help menu, type
"readme" (without the quotation marks), then choose the "Custom and
Network Installations" topic in the Word Readme Help Contents window.
