Tech: Installing MSWorks 4.0

["Anne C. Oelke" <acoelke@CENTURYINTER.NET>]

We just purchased Microsoft Works 4.0, and I am attempting to do an
adminstrative install to the server so that I can then install to the
individual stations across the network.  I just did this with Office 97,
but I keep getting an error, "this volume does not support long file
names".  Our server is running Novell 3.11.  Using the /a parameter for
setup should take care of that problem, but it simply does not allow me to
go further.  Using the /f parameter for converting to short file names also
does not work.  Microsoft's web site has tech information, and that
indicates using the /a.  My suspicion is that my CD may be faulty and not
have the support or program or whatever for the adminstrative (/a) setup
program.  Has anyone else been able to do the adminstrative install?  As I
said, it worked perfectly with Office 97.  Microsoft Tech. Support was not
able to give me an answer--the support person did not seem familiar with
administrative installs or Novell.  He just kept telling me that it was due
to the non support of long file names on my server.
TIA
