Installing WPSuite8 w/Windows 98

[DG Anderson]

This sounds familiar...  I wish Corel would have a notice about compatability;  anyone know???.
We have just bought a new HP with Windows ME installed.  We get similar messages about need to update Messages... then back to install page.
Windows or Corel?????
Thanks,

I am having the same problem, but installing to a desktop PC.  Did you ever find a solution?  This is so o o o o frustrating.

Am unable to install WPSuite8 Upgrade (CD Version) on my new Micron laptop which has Win98 operating system.

Monitor displays message saying Windows messaging files need uptdating, then asks whether to overwrite C:/windows/temp/setup.exe file.  Clicking No ends install process abruptly; clicking Yes ends install process after brief flurry of activity on hard drive.  Is this a Win98 problem, or a WP Suite8 problem?  Is WPSuite 8 incompatible w/Win98?

First, please be kind enough not to post in HTML. Bloated message sizes
and virus risks are primary reasons.

Second, there have been many messages posted here resolving this
problem. Here is my version:

If you are running Netscape, go into Netscape, Edit/Preferences, Mail &
Newsgroups, and UNCHECK the box for "use messenger as default from
MAPI-compliant applications" or similar, then reboot. Now try to install
WP8 Suite.

The next simplest choice is to search your Win98 CD and find the 2 files
WMS.EXE and run the appropriate one (ie US or International). This
installs Windows Messaging.

Alternatively if you do not wish to install Windows Messaging in full:

For Win95, copy MAPWIN95.DLL from the CD into the \Windows\System
folder, rename MAPI32.DLL to MAPI32.BUF, then Rename MAPWIN95.DLL to
MAPI32.DLL. Finally re-run the WP8 Suite setup from the CD. For Win98
and WinNT, use MAPNT40.DLL from the WPWin8 CD (not MAPWIN95.DLL).

Now reboot and install WP8 Suite.
