Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 4.0

SUMMARY

When Microsoft Excel version 3.0 or 4.0 is installed on a Macintosh that has the security program "Empower" installed, the Microsoft Excel Setup program will fail.

To work around this problem, remove the Empower INIT from the System Folder before installing Microsoft Excel.

Magna, the maker of Empower, is researching this problem and plans to release an update that is compatible with the Excel Setup program. For more information, call Magna at( 408) 456-2500.
