Installation of Works, Multimedia Edition

   Manager. If you are using Windows 95, click the Start button, and then
   click Run.
 
4. In the Command Line box (Windows 3.1x) or the Open box (Windows 95),
   type \<drive>:\setup, where <drive> is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.
 
5. Choose OK.
 
6. Follow the instructions as Works for Windows begins installing
   itself. As Setup begins, you will have the option to watch a
   multimedia introduction to Works and see the contents of the CD.
 
After entering your name, you will have the option to select a
complete or a custom installation. Select Complete Installation if you
want to install the entire Works program into the C:\MSWORKS
directory. Select Custom Installation if your disk space is limited or
if you want to install Works to a different directory.
