When installing ClarisWorks 3.x onto a system that is using Stacker 4.0 (or other compression utilities), the ClarisWorks installer will not recognize the "stacked" or compressed drive letters and will only give the option of installing to the uncompressed drive letters of the system.
This seems to be an incompatibility with other versions of WIN32 and Stacker 4.0. If there is an version of WIN32 on the system and you get errors trying to install ClarisWorks, remove it and reinstall ClarisWorks starting with disk #1. Once the version of WIN32 that comes with ClarisWorks is installed it should allow the install program to recognize the "stacked" or compressed drives and installation can continue as expected.
Here are the steps needed to remove a preexisting version of WIN32 from your system
1. Remove the following line from the 386 Enhanced [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
DEVICE=<WINDOWS>\\<SYSTEM>\\WIN32S\\W32S.386
where <WINDOWS> and <SYSTEM> are the locations of your WINDOWS and SYSTEM directories, respectively. In a normal Windows configuration the line will read:
DEVICE=C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\WIN32S\\W32S.386
2. Modify the following line from the [BOOT] section in the SYSTEM.INI
DRIVERS=MMSYSTEM.DLL WINMM16.DLL
the change should read as follows (remove WINMM16.DLL):
DRIVERS=MMSYSTEM.DLL
3. Delete the following files from the <WINDOWS>\\<SYSTEM> subdirectory or from the SYSTEM directory in network installations:
W32SYS.DLL
WIN32S16.DLL
WIN32S.INI
4. Delete all the files in the <WINDOWS>\\<SYSTEM>\\WIN32S subdirectory or the <SYSTEM>\\WIN32S subdirectory in network installations. Then delete the WIN32S directory itself.
The above changes will take effect the next time Windows is started.
