The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 5.0
 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 3.0
 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you try to install Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows on the Hewlett-
Packard (HP) OmniBook 300 using the LapLink remote, the following error
message appears
 
   Tried to create an invalid path using <e:\> and people.pp_
 
where <e:\> is the remote computer.
 
The same error can also occur if you try to install Microsoft Word for
Windows to a Bernoulli removable-media drive.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The HP OmniBook 300 ships with Microsoft Windows version 3.1 preinstalled
on Flash read-only memory (ROM) and does not have a floppy disk drive. All
installations of software must be done using the LapLink remote to a host
computer.
 
Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows does not support set up from a shared
removable media (floppy disk drive).
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To work around this problem:
 
1. Create a directory for each disk on the host machine. Name the
   directories Disk1, Disk2, and so forth.
 
2. Copy the contents of each disk to the appropriate directory.
 
3. On the OmniBook machine, start Windows File Manager and select the
   mapped hard disk drive of the host machine.
 
4. Change to the directory named Disk1.
 
5. Select the PowerPoint SETUP.EXE file and run Setup.
