SYMPTOMS

   Your administrator must install MAPI before you can install the
   Exchange client.
After you click OK, the setup program exits.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

You must install a shared version of the Microsoft Exchange client on a shared version of Windows 95. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Login to a shared Windows 95 computer with an account that has full permissions to the shared Windows 95 directory.
2. Create a Microsoft Exchange network install point by running "Setup 
   /A". This will install a shared copy of the Microsoft Exchange client
   on the network share as well as update files in the shared Windows 95
   directory.
3. Install the Microsoft Exchange client on each shared Windows 95 
   computer by running Setup from the Microsoft Exchange network install
   point with no parameters.
