SUMMARY
=======
The following message is generated when you use the PowerPoint workstation
Setup command SETUP /N if you are trying to install your user files onto
the same network directory where you installed PowerPoint shared files
doing the shared network administrative installation of PowerPoint:

   Cannot open the file name {path}\default.ppt
   The file is in use by another application.

MORE INFORMATION
================
When you use SETUP /N, PowerPoint asks you where you want to install the
user files. On some networks PowerPoint suggests the same directory that
the shared PowerPoint files are stored. This will not work because the
Setup program will then be trying to write file to the same directory
from which it is copying files.
You must install the user files to a different directory.
