PUB97: Setup Incorrectly Finds Older Copy of Publisher 97 (166327)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Publisher 97

This article was previously published under Q166327

SYMPTOMS

When you install Publisher 97 on a computer that already has an earlier version of Publisher on it, you receive the following message:
There is an older version of Microsoft Publisher 97 in the following folder...
You receive this message no matter what version of Publisher you already have installed.

CAUSE

Publisher 97 uses a standardized setup program in which the name of the product is defined as Microsoft Publisher 97. The setup program then inserts the name of the product into several different messages that appear during different phases of the installation process.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
