I've been trying to install Word 5.0 on my OS/2 1.2 SE system
I haven't been able to get it to install successfully.  After
all files are copied, when I try to fire up WORD I get errors
that it cannot complete loading the application in OS/2

In the DOS box, WORD prompts me to insert the PROGRAM 2 diskette
into the A: drive (obviously, this is the reason that OS/2 cannot
complete loading).  The problem seems to be that Word's SETUP is
not recognizing that I'm installing this on an OS/2 system.

As an aside, SETUP assumes that installation is from the A: drive.
I have a 3.5" A: and 5.25" diskettes, and just copied all the files
from one medium to the other so I could install the *** program.

Anyone recognize this problem and know how to solve it?  I'm not
convinced that just changing my 5.25 back to A: for the period
of the installation is going to help.
