I've recently upgraded to Win XP Home Editon from Win 98SE.
When I try to reinstall Office 97, I get an error: could
not find SHELL.DLL . There were some indications, though
vague, that this would be fixed with SP2, but I'm still
getting the same error now that I've downloaded the latest
service pack.
Microsoft phone support won't touch this, as Office 97
is "obselete software". Is this a compatability issue?
Every other post I've read indicates that Office 97 should
install clean under Win XP.
There are several sites out there that offer SHELL.DLL for
download, but I am hesitant to muck with an otherwise
functional OS. Any help?
