Mac Wkst: Trying to Install Causes Macintosh to Crash (61282)
The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q61282 SUMMARY
The instructions for installing the Microsoft Mail workstation files
involve using the Microsoft Mail Workstation Installer disk as the
start-up disk on the workstation. When following this procedure on the
Macintosh Portable, Classic, LC, IIci, IIfx, and IIsi, the machine may
crash, displaying the sad Macintosh icon.
The System on the Microsoft Mail Workstation Installer disk is version
6.0.3 (or 6.0.2 if purchased before January 1990). This version of the
System software does not support the above Macintoshes. To install the
Microsoft Mail workstation files, you must start up (boot) from the
start-up disk provided with the Macintosh. You can then drag the "MS
Mail 2.0" driver into the System Folder and use the Font/DA Mover to
install the "Microsoft Mail 2.0" desk accessory (DA).
This problem was addressed in Microsoft Mail version 3.0. The
Workstation Installer for Mail 3.0 does not require using the
Workstation disk as the start-up disk.
