Can anyone help

We have been asked to create a template, no problem
there...

However the template has to be automatically installed on
different versions
of Word, 97, 98, 2000, & XP etc.

We would like to allow the user to insert a CD and have
it automatically put
the template in the right directory, does any have
experience of this, is
there an installer already available to carry out this
task?

Any help most welcome - thanks

As far as I know theres not an applicaiton to do this but...

You could create a VB6 applicatin to run when the CD is entered
(Autorun.inf) and have the code in VB6 check for the Applicaiton.Version
or indeed if it exists at all.  From there it should be fairly easy to
get the appropriate path.

Duplicate post in other newsgroups already answered.

In the Microsoft Word newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate
messages to multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum
(unusual) please post a single message with both forums in the header of
that single message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay
together, (2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is
used on the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that
appear in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you
are asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all
beginners once and the only way to learn is to try.  (BTW, a number of the
Microsoft newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period.
Check the FAQ.)
Take a look on the MVP FAQ website under "getting help" for more reasons ase
well as other suggestions for getting answers more easily and quickly. <URL:
