SYMPTOMS

If Microsoft Project is installed on a system that runs Windows 95 through the use of the Windows 3.1 Program Manager shell, setup will not create an icon for Microsoft Project in the Programs group. Instead, the Microsoft Project icon will be placed on the Start menu as if the normal Windows Explorer shell was in use.

WORKAROUND

There is no workaround for this behavior. When the Windows 3.1 interface is chosen to be the interface for Windows 95, Setup does not have an option to create the icon in the Program group.

If you want to create an within a Program Manager group, click the File menu, click New, click Program Item and click OK. Click the Browse button and find the Winproj executable file, Winproj.exe. Click OK. An icon will be created.
