SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
If you modify the default path when you install Microsoft Access for
Windows 95 version 7.0, the Setup program automatically creates an
additional Access folder. For example, if you specify \Office95\Access as
the installation path, the Setup program installs Microsoft Access in
Office95\Access\Access.
CAUSE
Because Microsoft Access shares several files with other Microsoft Office
programs (such as Qoffice.hlp), the additional Access folder is created by
default to prevent duplicate installations of these shared files.
RESOLUTION
To prevent the inclusion of \Access in the installation path, follow these
steps:
- Start Microsoft Access Setup.
- Proceed through the Setup program until you see the dialog box for
choosing the type of installation you want: Typical, Compact, or Custom.
- In the Typical, Compact, Custom dialog box, click Change Folder.
- In the Path box, delete \Access from the path or type a different
installation path. Click OK.
- Proceed with the Setup program until Microsoft Access for Windows 95 is
successfully installed.
NOTE: Once Microsoft Access is set up, you cannot modify or rename the
installation folder. The only option is to uninstall Microsoft Access
and then to reinstall it using a different destination path in the Typical,
Compact, Custom dialog box of the Setup program.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
