ACMSETUP.EXE program to install Word.
- At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following to create a
directory for the setup files:
MD C:\~SETUP
Note: During a normal Setup these files are placed in a hidden directory
named ~MSSTFQF.T, which is automatically created on the last
available local drive that Setup has sufficient access to.
- Place Word Disk 1 in your floppy disk drive.
- At the command prompt, type "A:" or "B:" (without the quotation marks)
to change to the floppy disk drive where you inserted Disk 1.
- At the command prompt, type the following, pressing ENTER after
each line:
DECOMP _MSSETUP.EX_ C:\~SETUP\_MSSETUP.EXE
DECOMP ACMSETUP.EX_ C:\~SETUP\ACMSETUP.EXE
DECOMP ACMSETUP.HL_ C:\~SETUP\ACMSETUP.HLP

- In Windows File Manager, select the ACMSETUP.EXE file in the C:\~SETUP
directory (do not double-click the file). From the File menu, choose
