ISSUE:
During the process of installing German (DE) PerfectOffice 3.0
for Windows, the error "File Decompression Error" may occur. This
problem does not happen to all users and is not isolated to
Novell products. This is a hardware problem related to caching
data on the
computers Data BUS.
This problem can be worked around by using the DCMPDE.EXE file.
This file has a new version of the POSETUP.EX_ . This file will
flush the Disk cache and attempt to decompress the files
correctly. If this file does not resolve the problem, obtain the
InfoShare (Faxback) document #1663 by dialing 1-801-429-3239.

Installation Instructions:
Install Instructions for German (DE) PerfectOffice:
NOTE: If you have a diskette labeled SETUP (REVISED), you
already have this fix.
1. Create a temporary directory on the computer's hard drive
(ie., C:\INSTALL).
2. Copy the PerfectOffice 3.0 disk labeled SETUP, to the
temporary directory on the hard drive.
NOTE: Only copy the SETUP disk to the INSTALL directory, not the
entire disk set.
a. If you have the CD copy the following files from the
<CDROM Drive Letter>\POWIN30 directory to the newly created
directory:
WPMIN_NL.OO1
SETUP.EXE
SHWIND20.DL_
IDAPINST.DL_
INSTRRF.DL_
INSTBOR.DL_
OBXINST.DL_
WPGIDE.HLP
INSTALL.LST
INSTALL.DAT
PO_DISKS.DAT
3. Copy the new POSETUP.EX_ file, that was downloaded, to the
INSTALL directory that was created in Step #1 above. Confirm any
messages that prompt you to replace any existing files. This step
should replace the POSETUP.EX_ that was copied from the SETUP
diskette.
4. Enter Windows.
5. Select File | Run | C:\INSTALL\SETUP.EXE. This will run
the
PerfectOffice installation from the hard drive.
6. Answer installation prompts as needed. When the
installation requires the remaining disks to be entered, insert
the individual disks into the floppy drive as prompted. The
installation will require you to change the location of where the
source disk is being read from, since the installation started
from the hard drive.
NOTE: The progress bar may not accurately reflect the
Installation progress.
7. If you have a partial installation on your hard drive and
would like the installation to pick up from where you recieved
the error. You should use the startup option /skip_identical
when the new SETUP is run for the first time. This will verify
the date and size of the files that have already been installed
and start the installation from where the error occurred without
reinstalling those files. Ex: File | Run | C:\INSTALL\SETUP
/skip_identical.
