5383.3Office 97 on Alpha NT 4.0?SMURF::STRANGESteve Strange, UNIX FilesystemsThu Jan 30 1997 15:386
    I just tried installing Office 97 under NT Alpha 4.0 (w/service pack
    2), and setup complains that its 'not intended to be used with your
    version of Windows'.  Does this mean we can't run Office 97 under FX!32
    while we wait for the native versions?

	There is a running discussion about Office 97 on NT Alpha and
	FX!32 in the FX!32 notes conference.  It works (except for some
	problems with the new Outlook).  The key is to use the install
	x86 program.  Do you have the latest version of FX!32?

    re: .4
    
    I believe I'm running the latest FX!32 -- I got it from the website
    just a couple days ago.  The Manager claims its V1.0, build b0124-001.
    Is the 'install x86' program the same as Setup.exe in the top
    directory?  I'm trying the install from a share, and I'm probably about
    the only person running on an Alpha, so I would expect this Setup.exe
    to be an intel binary.
    
    	Thanks,

The "install x86" program was referring to a component of FX!32, not 
Office. Go into your FX!32 folder in your Start Menu, do you see an 
item "Install X86 Application" ? Run it and point it to the setup.exe 
of Office.

5383.7Thanks, that got me a little further...SMURF::STRANGESteve Strange, UNIX FilesystemsFri Jan 31 1997 15:248
    re: .6
    
    Thanks! -- that got the install going.  Now it's dying during the file
    copy stage of the install when it tries to install stuff in the
    'Windows Messaging' folder.  Maybe the NT service pack 2 is causing
    problems.

I've successfully installed Office97 on my Jensen using a version of FX!32 prior 
to the V1.1 beta. (I'm now running the released V1.1.)

The basic functionality I require works fine. Even the Office Assistants pop up 
and wave at me.
