The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Bob version 1.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
After Bob 1.0a Setup has finished "searching for installed components", you
receive the following error message:
 
   Microsoft Bob Setup
   SETUP CANNOT CONTINUE! There is an older version of Microsoft Bob
   in the directory shown below.
 
   Directory:
   C:\MSBOB
 
   You need to return the software and get the Microsoft Bob Plus Pack
   instead.
 
   Contact Microsoft at 1-800-426-9400 (US) or 1-800-933-4750 (Canada)
   for information on how to get the Microsoft Bob Plus Pack.
 
   Press the Exit Setup button to exit Setup.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Because Bob 1.0a is not designed as an upgrade package, Setup checks for
existing versions of Bob before installing. If it finds a file named
Utopia.dll or a Bob folder, it refuses to continue.
 
This problem can also occur if the Bob Setup file (Setup.stf) is damaged or
has been moved or deleted.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To end the error messages and complete your Bob installation, complete the
following instructions.
 
NOTE: The following instructions discuss editing and deleting files. For
more information about how to accomplish these tasks in Windows, see your
Windows printed documentation or online Help.
 
1. Delete the following file from your hard drive:
 
      Utopia.dll
 
2. Edit the [MS-BOB] section of the Win.ini file, and put a semicolon (;)
   in front of the UtopiaDir= line.
 
   For example, change the following lines:
 
      [MS-BOB]
      UtopiaDir=C:\MSBOB
 
   to:
 
      [MS-BOB]
      ;UtopiaDir=C:\MSBOB
 
3. Run Bob 1.0a Setup again.
