PPT: PowerPoint Installs Shared Components to \Msapps on NT 3.51 (136177)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
  • the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 3.51

This article was previously published under Q136177

SYMPTOMS

When you install PowerPoint on Windows NT Workstation version 3.51, the shared components (the OLE programs, the spell checker, and the graphics and text converters) are installed to the \Windows\Msapps folder. If you install PowerPoint on Windows 95, the shared components are installed to the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared folder.

CAUSE

Windows NT 3.51 does not use shared applications from the same location as Windows 95 (Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared). Shared components such as those that ship with PowerPoint are installed to the \Windows\Msapps folder.
