Selected Test Results

What works

Installing Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, whether through a typical or custom install. A typical install will exit with the message that the install was not completed successfully, but these three apps will have been installed successfully.

What does not

If Access is included in the install (typical or custom), the installer gives an error message about being unable to register accwiz.dll (bug #3689) and states that the install was not completed successfully at the end. While msaccess.exe is copied to the Office directory, it will not run because the installer could not register it.

Guidelines for Submitting Test Reports

Specify exactly which edition of Office 97 you tested (Standard, Pro, etc.) This is crucial--bugs that affect one edition may not affect others.
Specify exactly what type of install you tested (Typical, Custom, Minimal, etc.)
Limit your report to the installer only. Reports on the performance of individual apps should be filed under their respective AppDB entries. Problems with running any of the apps should only be mentioned if it is clear that it is due to a problem with the installer.
If you used any overrides during the install, please list them and explain exactly what problem each override was needed to solve.

Okay. U need: accwiz.dll; msjet35.dll,msjet40.dll - put them in C:\\windows\system32

After it Access will install. And will work :D
