    Introduction
    ------------

    In Microsoft Office versions 4.2 and 4.3 for Windows, the Setup
    program does not recognize Microsoft PowerPoint(R) version 4.0 or
    Microsoft Excel version 5.0 as valid applications for upgrading. This
    problem occurs because the compliance checker (COMPLINC.DLL) that
    ships with these versions of Microsoft Office only recognizes
    Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows, the only application that
    shipped on disk in Microsoft Office version 4.0.

    The disk provided with this Application Note contains an updated
    COMPLINC.DLL file. You can use this updated file to complete the Setup
    program for international English versions of Microsoft Office when
    you are upgrading from Microsoft PowerPoint version 4.0 or Microsoft
    Excel version 5.0. This replacement file correctly detects the
    PowerPoint 4.0 or Microsoft Excel 5.0 files on your hard disk and
    allows you to complete the Microsoft Office Setup.

    NOTE: The updated COMPLINC.DLL will not recognize the files on the
    Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 or Microsoft Excel 5.0 floppy disk (Disk 1)
    as valid for upgrading. You will need to install one of these
    applications on your hard disk in order to successfully complete the
    Microsoft Office Setup.

    If you are running the Setup program for the U.S. version of Microsoft
    Office, you do not need to use the disk provided with this Application
    Note. Although you do receive an error message when you install the
    U.S. (domestic) versions of Microsoft Office, you can continue with
    the Setup program and successfully install Microsoft Office, even if
    you do not provide the requested verification.

    To replace the COMPLINC.DLL file
    --------------------------------

    1. Make a backup copy of your Microsoft Office Disk 1 (copy its
       contents to a new floppy disk).

    2. Insert the enclosed WC1032 disk in your floppy disk drive.

    3. At the MS-DOS prompt, type the following and press ENTER

          copy <drive>:\complinc.dll <destination>

       where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WC1032 disk
       and <destination> is a directory to which you can copy the
       COMPLINC.DLL file temporarily. For example, if the name of the
       directory is C:\FILES and the  WC1032 disk is in drive A, type the
       following command:

          copy a:\complinc.dll c:\files

    4. Insert the backup copy of your Microsoft Office Disk 1 in your
       floppy disk drive.

    5. At the MS-DOS prompt, type the following and press ENTER

          copy <source>\complinc.dll <drive>

       where <source>is the drive and directory you copied the
       COMPLINC.DLL file to in step 3, and <drive> is the drive that
       contains the backup copy of your Microsoft Office Disk 1. For
       example, if the name of the drive and directory is C:\FILES and the
       backup copy of your Microsoft Office Disk 1 is in drive A, type the
       following:

          copy c:\files\complinc.dll a:

    6. You can now run the Microsoft Office Setup program from the backup
       copy of your Microsoft Office Disk 1.
