What version of Works are you trying to load, if it is for Win3.1, then it is looking for DOS share.exe, it is my understanding that Win95/98 either doesn't need/incorporates &quot;share&quot; in its functions.<br />
<br />
if it is a 3.1 version, then I would go look for a new version, the upgrade price would be rather reasonable since Microsoft seems to want it everywhere that Office isn't<br />

The Works CD ROM I have was supplied with a Win 95 machine I purchased 3 years ago, so don't think it is a DOS version.<br />
Will try the fix with the dummy file. &nbsp;Thanks very much for the advice. &nbsp;TP

I am trying to load MS Works (CD-ROM) onto my new machine with WIN 98, but the installation fails because it says it is missing the file &quot;Share.exe&quot;. &nbsp;I checked my original WIN 95 and Win 98 Upgrade CD's for this file, but it was not there. &nbsp;I also checked for it on the Microsoft web site, but could not locate it there. &nbsp;What to do?
