The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 3.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

DEC Pathworks version 4.21 must be installed on the Pathworks server
to install PowerPoint for Windows version 3.0 using the Network
Administrator Setup option (Setup /A). Versions of the server software
earlier than 4.21 may cause Setup to fail with the following error
message:

   Setup cannot create the destination directory.

RESOLUTION
==========

There are currently no known workarounds for this problem. The only
solution is to upgrade the Pathworks server software to version 4.21
or later.

For more information, or to obtain an upgrade to the Pathworks
server software, contact the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) at
(800) 354-9000
