PUB97: Publisher 97 Setup Takes a Long Time (154812)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q154812 SYMPTOMS
When you install Publisher 97 on Windows 95, you may see the following
message:
Setup is updating your system. This may take several minutes...
The message may be accompanied by what appears to be a gray pie slice
rotating in a clockwise direction inside a square.
This message may be displayed for only seconds or for a long period of
time. Also, the pie slice may become very slow, giving the impression
that Setup has stopped, or that your computer has stopped responding.
CAUSE
During the "updating your system" phase, Publisher 97 Setup adds many
fonts to your computer; these fonts must be registered with the Windows
95 operating system. The extended Setup time occurs as a result of the
way Windows 95 handles this process coupled with the large number of
fonts that need to be registered.
WORKAROUND
DO NOT restart your computer or interrupt the Setup process. If you
wait long enough, Setup will continue and will be completed
successfully.
To decrease Setup time, use the following steps:
- To start Publisher 97 Setup, click Run on the Start menu, and type
<drive letter>:\setup.exe - Fill in the Owner and Organization information.
- When given the choice between Complete and Custom, click Custom.
- Clear the Fonts check box.
- Click Continue, and allow Setup to finish.
Because you are not installing the fonts, the Setup program will skip
the font registration portion of the setup process. To add the fonts
later, run Setup, click Add/Remove option, and then select the Fonts
check box.
The portion of Setup in which the fonts are installed will probably
take a long time regardless of install fonts separately or as part of
your original installation.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
