This article was previously published under Q87787 SYMPTOMS
If the Microsoft Windows Setup program is running minimized as an icon on
the Desktop, you will not be able to run any other Windows-based program
named "Setup." This will occur regardless of whether the MS-DOS file-
sharing program SHARE.EXE is loaded.
Windows 3.0
If the Windows Setup program is minimized, and you try to run a Windows-
based program named "Setup," the minimized Windows Setup program runs
instead. This problem occurs when you double-click the other Setup file in
File Manager, and when you choose Run from the File menu and specify the
path to the other Setup program in the Command Line text box.
Windows 3.1
If the Windows Setup program is minimized, and you try to run a Windows
program named "Setup," the error message, "Cannot start more than one copy
of the specified program" appears.
WORKAROUND
Close the copy of the Windows Setup program that is running minimized
on the Desktop before running the second program named "Setup."
