You receive the "Cannot display the End User License Agreement which must be displayed and accepted before you can use the application" error message when you try to start Works 6
When you try to start Microsoft Works 6, Works 6 does not start. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
Cannot display the End User License Agreement which must be displayed and accepted
before you can use the application. To display the agreement, reinstall the
application.
This issue may occur when you have Works 6 and Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 installed on the computer. The installation of FrontPage 2003 replaces a .dll file that affects the Works 6 End User License Agreement (EULA) acceptance. This replaced .dll file expects a Microsoft Works 7 or a later version EULA acceptance.
To work around this issue, create a Wks7eula.txt file. To do this, follow these steps:
- In Microsoft Windows Explorer, locate and then click the following folder:
drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Works Shared
- Right-click the Wks6eula.txt file, and then click Copy.
- Right-click the Works Shared folder, and then click Paste.
Note A new copy of the Wks6eula.txt file is pasted in the Works Shared folder. This folder is called Copy of Wks6eula.txt. - Right-click the Copy of Wks6eula.txt file, and then click Rename.
- Type Wks7Eula.txt, and then press ENTER.
- Click Yes if you receive a prompt to confirm that you want to rename the Copy of Wks6eula.txt file to the Wks7Eula.txt file.
- Start Works 6.

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.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
