The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel version 5.0 for Windows, when the Setup program has finished setting up Microsoft Excel, you may receive the following message:

   Setup needs to restart Windows to complete the installation of
   system files. Please close all applications, including DOS
   sessions, after saving any current work and then return to this
   dialog box and choose the Continue button.

   After restarting Windows, Setup will be complete.

If you choose the Continue button in this dialog box Windows is restarted. This behavior is different from other dialog boxes in Microsoft Windows; in other Windows dialog boxes, a Continue button means "do not restart Windows" and an additional button, Restart Windows, is displayed to restart Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The following table lists each button that appears in the dialog box and describes what happens when you choose it.

Button     What happens when you choose this button

Continue   Begins the process of restarting Windows. You should be
           prompted to save your work in any open applications before
           those applications are closed. If any MS-DOS sessions are open,
           the restart process will not be successfully completed.

Cancel     Cancels out of the Setup program without restarting Windows.
           Note that you still need to restart Windows before the
           Microsoft Excel setup is truly complete.

Help       Provides help about Microsoft Excel Setup.

Before you choose the Continue button, you should save any open work and close all open applications and MS-DOS sessions. You can use the ALT+TAB key combination or the CTRL+ESC key combination to switch between different applications.
