SYMPTOMS

Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0 uses the Pp7trans.dll file to open Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 files. The Readme.doc file is located on the Microsoft Office 97 Resource Kit Tools and Utilities compact disc. It contains the following incorrect instructions for installing this file:

To install the PowerPoint 95 converter for PowerPoint 4.0 (Windows only):
  1. Insert the Tools and Utilities CD into the CD-ROM drive.


  2. In the PowerPt\Win4to95 folder, copy Pp7trans.dll to the Powerpnt folder on the computer where PowerPoint 95 is installed.



RESOLUTION

Install the Pp7trans.dll file by running the PowerPoint Viewer setup program, Vsetup.exe.

  1. On the start menu, click Run.


  2. In the Open box, type "Vsetup" (without the quotation marks), and click OK.


  3. In the Welcome dialog box, click to clear the PowerPoint Viewer check box.


  4. Click to select the Translator to Open PowerPoint 95 Files in PowerPoint 4.0 check box.


  5. Click OK.

You can find Vsetup.exe in the following locations:
  • The \ValuPack\Ppt4view folder on the Office 97 or PowerPoint 97 compact disc.


  • The PowerPoint viewer disk that ships with PowerPoint 7.0.


You can also download a copy of the PowerPoint viewer electronically. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
