OFF97: Installing Office Overwrites Web Find Fast Service (166988)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 97 for Windows
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
This article was previously published under Q166988 SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Office 97 and include the Find Fast utility, the
Web Find Fast service that you previously installed from the Office Server
Pack (on the Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition for Windows compact
disc) is overwritten, and all Web Find Fast functionality is removed.
NOTE: Web Find Fast and the Office Server Pack is only available on the
Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition for Windows compact disc.
CAUSE
Microsoft Office overwrites an existing Find Fast program even if you
installed the program from the Srvpack folder on the Microsoft Office 97
Professional Edition for Windows compact disc.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not install Find Fast when you install or
reinstall Microsoft Office 97 after installing the Office Server Pack.
NOTE: When you run Setup, the Find Fast option is under the Office Tools
components. To prevent Setup from installing Find Fast, clear the Find Fast
check box.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
When you run the Setup program in the Srvpack folder on the Microsoft
Office 97 Professional Edition for Windows compact disc, it installs a Find
Fast service in the Microsoft Windows NT Control Panel. This service
creates indexes on Web servers, on network servers, or on your local hard
disk. By default, Find Fast creates a single index on each hard disk on
your computer.
For additional information about Web Find Fast, please see the Readme.txt
file that is located in the Srvpack folder on the Microsoft Office 97
Professional Edition for Windows compact disc.
