Installation Problem with ClarisWorks 5.0 for Windows Disks

When using the diskette version to install ClarisWorks 5.0 for Windows, the installer prompts for the incorrect path.

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

When installing ClarisWorks 5.0 for Windows from diskettes, after the first disk is done, the setup prompts for an incorrect path for the second disk. The path it asks for will incorrectly look something like c:\\dos\\_istemp0.dir\\ while the correct path is most likely a:\\ (or possibly b:\\).

To correct the problem, type in the correct path before inserting the second disk and clicking the OK button. From then on the installer will correctly ask for the disks in the path you have specified.
