SYMPTOMS

Setup could not find Microsoft Word 6.0 installed on your system.
Please install Microsoft Word 6.0 before installing this application.

MOM Setup needs to read the Picture-Path entry in the WINWORD6.INI so that it can install the clip art index and thumbnail files in the specified directory. If it cannot find the .INI file, it will be unable to put these files in the proper location.
