Unable to open apps

[Guest FlaBill]

A message that say my OS is not configured to open this application.

this happens when I try to open WinWord from my flash drive. Copy to

hard drive did not solve it. Confused...

Any suggestion would be appreciated, thankx

Re: Unable to open apps

 

In order for Winword exe to work on your computer, MS Word from the Office Suite has

to be formally installed on the hard drive, using the installer for that program.

You cannot just copy it to a hard drive or a flash drive....it won't work that way.
