Error: Invalid command line option (during Setup due to server long filenames).
Error:
Invalid command line option: 95\ Usage: setup [/A]. Use the /A switch to run setup in administrator mode.
Cause:
This error occurs when running Setup on a workstation by connecting to a server when the path contains spaces or special characters such as / \ ? * . Setup is a 16-bit application and does not recognize characters acceptable in a 32-bit application and long filenames.
Solution:
Rename the shared Office folder to exclude illegal characters or run ACMSETUP.EXE.
Do one of the following:
1) Change the name of the shared Office folder on the server to exclude illegal characters such as / \ ? * .
EXAMPLE: Change \\SERVER\OFFICE 95 to \\SERVER\OFFICE95
NOTE: This must be performed by the Network Administrator.
2) Use the ACMSETUP program which does not have any long filename limitations:
a) Click 'Start' todisplay the Windows 'Start' menu.
Start menu
b) Select 'Run...'.
c) Type the following in the 'Open' box:
''\\SERVER\OFFICE 95\ACMSETUP.EXE '' /T ''\\SERVER\OFFICE 95 SETUP.STF''
NOTE: Include the quotation marks and a space between 'Office' and '95'
d) Click 'OK'.
