I'm using XP Pro and trying to use Access 97 by first loading up Office 95
and then an Upgrade to Office 97. Office 95 installs fine but then the
upgrade to 97 yeilds the following message" The application or DLL
c:\`mssetup.t\~msstfof.t\wmsset32.dll is not a valid windows image. Please
check this against your installation diskette." Then after OK click by me
is "Setup Error 797". The XP Pro is a clean install with nothing else
running and set as admin. I installed 95 & 97 earlier last week on an XP
Home machine with no problems but after it was later converted to XP Pro
with an upgrade to Server 2003 the same problem "797" crops up . I've
copied the extra dll files listed in KB 140900-no luck. I will test the CD
on another install on a 98SE and I'm sure it will be fine. Help. I don't
want to bother with Access 2000.
 
My guess is that there's something wrong with the CD and/or CD station
Out of curiosity - why use Access '95 (as it was nearly as "buggy" as Access
1.0?)
I use all other versions 2.0 >, but scrapped '95 as soon as I could
(haven't done much coding in 2.0 lately for one reason or the other ... ;-))

Cleaned CD and it worked fine. I only use A97 but only have an upgrade
version so I need to use A95 to validate A97 install. Thanks for help.
