SYMPTOMS
========

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

Microsoft Windows Setup (found in the Main group in Program Manager) ignores
applications created with the Microsoft Access Distribution Kit (ADK), or the
Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT), even when these directories are
listed in the system path.

RESOLUTION
==========

To cause Windows Setup to recognize your ADK or ADT application, follow these
steps:

1. Run Windows Setup.

2. From the Options menu, choose Set Up Applications.

3. Select the "Ask you to specify an application" check box.

4. Choose OK, and then specify your ADK or ADT application.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Access
Distribution Kit version 1.1 and the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit
version 2.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
