SYMPTOMS
If you install Microsoft Office version 4.2.1, over an existing
installation of Microsoft Office version 4.2, and you attempt to use Setup
to modify your installation, you may receive unexpected results.
WORKAROUNDFor best results, remove version 4.2 before you attempt to install version 4.2.1. You should also remove earlier Mode 1 and Mode 2 installations before you attempt an administrative installation of version 4.2.1. (Not only will this method of installation provide you with more available disk space, but the Setup program will not be installed over an existing administrative installation.) MORE INFORMATION
When you install an application using Microsoft Office Setup, the Setup
program keeps track of everything it installs on the disk, and writes file
locations for shared application components (OLE servers, and so on) to the
registry. Both the applications and the Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) use
this registry information to determine what is available. If you install
Microsoft Office version 4.2.1 over Microsoft Office version 4.2, the
registry information may not correspond with what is actually installed
on your hard disk drive. Any files that are common to version 4.2.1 AND
version 4.2 installations will be double-counted in the registry. When you
try to remove these components using Setup, they are not removed.
