SYMPTOMS

The Programs.txt files included with Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition contain the fefollowing incorrect information about the Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 1 (SR-1) Patch:
   Microsoft Office 97 Service Releases (patches)
   ----------------------------------------------
 
   If Windows 95 and Office 97 are installed on your computer and you 
   then upgrade to Windows 98, the Office 97 Service Release 1 patch 
   cannot be installed on your system. However, if you install the
   Office 97 Service Release 1 patch before you upgrade to Windows
   98, the patch should work correctly. 
 
   An Office 97 Service Release 2 patch is planned for release in
   Summer 1998. The Service Release 2 patch can be used on both 
   Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems.
 
   The latest Office 97 Service Release patches can be found at

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
