SUMMARY

When you run Office 95 Setup, the program does not replace the 16-bit OLE files installed by Windows 95, even if the files are damaged, corrupted, or missing.

MORE INFORMATION

The 16-bit OLE files are included with Microsoft Office 95 Setup, but they are not copied to the system, even if the 16-bit OLE files in the Windows\System folder are damaged, corrupted, or missing, or if the files are the incorrect version, size, or date.

If these files become corrupted, damaged, or are missing, you cannot replace them by running Office 95 Setup. Instead, to replace these files, you must copy them from the Windows\Sysbckup folder to the Windows\System folder, or you must re-install Windows 95 to the same folder.
