The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Macintosh, version 4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you attempt to run Microsoft PowerPoint Setup for the Macintosh, you
may receive one of the following messages:
 
   Your present copy of the Microsoft Setup program is outdated.
   Just a moment while Setup updates your system...
 
   -or-
 
   The Setup Table File being processed ("Microsoft PowerPoint Setup")
   requires a newer version of Microsoft Setup. Try starting the
   version of Setup found on your original product disks.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Version 1.0.1 of Microsoft Setup must be used for the correct installation
of PowerPoint.
 
The Microsoft PowerPoint Setup file is either not invoking or cannot
find the correct version of Microsoft Setup. If version 1.0 of Microsoft
Setup exists on the hard disk drive, the PowerPoint Setup file may be
attempting to use it. Version 1.0 of Microsoft Setup is incompatible with
Microsoft PowerPoint Setup.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Drag the Microsoft PowerPoint Setup file to the Microsoft Setup icon, which
is located within the Setup Folder on Install Disk 1. This action forces
the Microsoft Setup 1.0.1 file, which is located on the floppy disk, to be
used.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The Microsoft PowerPoint Setup file is a Setup Table File (STF). An STF is
a script used by Microsoft Setup to govern what actions take place during
the setup process. The STF for PowerPoint Setup was designed to work with
version 1.0.1 or later of Microsoft Setup.
