OFF: Autorun Feature on Office CD Doesn't Run
Article ID: Q136480
Creation Date: 10-SEP-1995
Revision Date: 24-JAN-1997
The information in this article applies to:
o Microsoft Office for Windows 95, version 7.0-CD
o Microsoft Office 97 for Windows, version 97-CD
SYMPTOMS
When you insert the Microsoft Office CD, the Autorun
feature may not run, even when you manually run the
Autorun.exe file located on the CD.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you have already installed
Microsoft Office on your computer, either from the Office
installation CD, from floppy disks, or from a network
server.
This behavior occurs because the Autorun feature is only
designed to run if Office is not already installed (for
example, the first time you run Office Setup or when you
run Office Setup after using the Remove All button in
maintenance mode). The Autorun feature displays a window
that allows you to install Office, display the online
Getting Results book, or browse the Office CD. However, you
can still perform each of these actions without using the
Autorun feature.
NOTE: If you insert the Microsoft Office 97 CD and
Microsoft Office 97 is already installed, a window for the
CD contents will automatically appear instead of the
Autorun running. This behavior differs from that of
Microsoft Office 7.0 for Windows. If you insert the Office
7.0 CD and Office 7.0 is already installed, no window
appears and nothing happens.
WORKAROUND
Although you cannot run the Autorun feature again on the
Office CD, you can run Setup, display the Getting Results
book, or explore the contents of the CD by doing the
following:
1. Insert the Office CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Start Windows Explorer.
3. In the All Folders list (left window in Windows
Explorer), click the CD-ROM drive, such as (D:).
To do this Take this action
----------------------------------------------------
Run Setup Double-click the Setup icon in the
Contents list (right window in
Windows Explorer).
Display "Getting Double-click the Cdonline folder in
Results" the Contents list (right window in
Windows Explorer), and then double-
click the Results icon
Explore the CD Double-click the desired folder in
contents the Contents list (right window in
Windows Explorer).
