PUB: First Aid Utilities Incorrectly Detect Missing Files (162852)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher 97
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q162852 SYMPTOMS
If you use CyberMedia's First Aid 97 or a similar diagnostic program
to diagnose your Publisher installation, it may report that one or
more files are missing. This problem occurs despite the fact that
Publisher runs normally.
CAUSE
Many diagnostic programs mistake Publisher version 3.0 or Publisher 97
for Publisher version 2.0. All three versions of Microsoft Publisher
use the same name for the main program file (Mspub.exe.) However, all
three versions install different supporting files in the
C:\Windows\System folder.
RESOLUTION
If Publisher is operating normally, ignore the report.
CyberMedia offers periodic updates to its First Aid product which
allow it to correctly identify new versions of software.
First Aid 97 is manufactured by CyberMedia, a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this
product's performance or reliability.
