Virus Protection Causes Problems with Excel 4.x Setup
ID: Q87996
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 4.0
-
Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 4.0
SUMMARY
The setup program for version 4.0 of Microsoft Excel may fail if you
have a virus protection utility running when installing Microsoft
Excel. Disable any virus protection utilities before running the
Microsoft Excel setup program.
When you attempt to run Microsoft Excel after installing it through
Microsoft Office 3.0 integrated setup, you may receive the following
error messages at the point noted in square brackets:
"Application Execution Error: Access to the specified device,
path, file is denied." [from the icon]
"Cannot access this file. Please verify security privileges on
the network drive." [from File Manager]
For information on disabling your virus protection utility, refer to
the documentation that accompanied it.
NOTE: This problem does not occur in later versions of Microsoft Excel for
Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
Some common errors that result from running the Microsoft Excel setup
program along with a virus protection utility include:
- Setup fails, and Microsoft Excel displays the error message:
Not enough memory or insufficient disk space
- Improper installation of the Microsoft Excel program file
(EXCEL.EXE). Typically, the Microsoft Excel program icon is not
created in Windows Program Manager, and attempting to run the
Microsoft Excel program from Windows File Manager results in the
error:
Unexpected DOS error 5
The errors noted after installing from the Microsoft Office integrated
setup do not occur if virus checking TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident)
programs are disabled.
