When you run the Microsoft Office Setup program, you may see a dialog box
at the beginning of setup that contains the following message:

You may also see a dialog box at the end of the Office Setup program with
the following message:
Creating a list of duplicate files that can be removed.
NOTE: There are not any files created that allow you to view these lists.
MORE INFORMATION
If you want the Office Upgrade Wizard to create viewable files that contain
the aforementioned lists, you can make an entry in the Windows registry
before running the Office Setup program.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be
solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And
