Problems Setting Up Carmen Sandiego from CD-ROM

ID: Q138156

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you try to set up the following programs from a CD-ROM, the Make Program Accessible Under Windows option does not work:

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego

Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego

CAUSE

The Setup program for these programs checks the System.ini file for the "SHELL=PROGMAN.EXE" line when you use the Make Program Accessible Under Windows option. In Windows 95, this line has changed to "SHELL=EXPLORER.EXE," causing the Setup program to fail.

RESOLUTION

Do not use the Make Program Accessible Under Windows option. After you install one of these programs, run it by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer or My Computer, or from an MS-DOS prompt.
