Had the same problem with both the Toolbook diskettes as well
as the Excel 2.1c upgrade?

Someone sent me mail regarding an earlier question stating 
that according to Microsoft it is a problem with SHARE.EXE, and 
that SHARE.EXE needs to be temporarily renamed during the Setup
for these programs.  

I haven't tried renaming SHARE.EXE.  I just made some room on
the harddrive by temporarily removing some GIFs, loaded all the
files into the single directory and ran from there.  Everything
worked fine.

The only thing I can think of is that these Setup programs are
not properly reading the floppy drive when SHARE is present 
because they are unaware that the diskette in the drive has changed.

Any thoughts or comments?
