running Microsoft Office 98 in SheepShaver on a Mac
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2017 8:01 pm
I would like to use the version of Microsoft Excel from MS Office 98 on an Intel iMac running OS 9.0 and the latest version of SheepShaver. I already have SheepShaver installed and it works fine. I have an old Office 98 CD and I used it to create a .cdr file from the original CD. I locked the .cdr file and added it to the SheepShaver volumes. I was able to run the installer for the entire Office 98 package and the installation worked with no errors. However, when I try to run Excel it seems to try to open but then immediately closes. I was wondering if anyone has had success installing Office 98 on an Intel Mac running SheepShaver. FYI, I did see in a prior forum message a suggestion about removing the "Shared Library Manager" extension. I tried that but it did not work. Thanks for any advice anyone can provide!!!
