failed to locate a valid qualifying product (using full ver 2k Standard)

Posted: 24 Apr 2004 10:57 PM PDT

Actually, I was able to get it going. In the field where
it was asking me to pick the drive that had the
qualifying info, I entered Drive D: (CD)which had the
Full Version of Office 2K Standard (same one I was having
issue with).
It found the info that it missed the first time and
installed fine.
I would have been pretty pissed if it did not work,
because there was obviously no support for this error.

Office XP Activation/Subscription questions

Posted: 24 Apr 2004 06:53 PM PDT

Microsoft sold a subscription version of Office XP but found it was too
cumbersome to support. Folks who got the prompt to re-subscribe were given
a telephone number to contact Microsoft for a permanent key. All of this is
from memory - Bob Buckland would know for sure.

license issue

Sorry, but as the licence is OEM, Dell is responsible for *ALL* support -
including replacement keys and media. MS cannot, will not and does not
assist with OEM-provided software. Your only recourse is with Dell.

Maybe you'd like to ask the CSR or TSR what this fictitious "permissions
issue" is, exactly? Apart from a load of crap, obviously.

You're going to have to keep on at Dell - escalate if necessary.

Want to migrate Outlook settings (mainly ACCOUNTS) to new install

Posted: 22 Apr 2004 02:43 PM PDT

Hi Bruce,

If you are using Office 2003, a possible solution is to use "Custom
Installation Wizard" to create a Outlook profile (.prf file). After
reinstalling the system, you can apply Outlook user profiles by using a PRF
file.

For more information, please refer to the following link:

Hope it helps.

Can I create a file with the product code to install Office XP?

Posted: 22 Apr 2004 02:43 PM PDT

Hi Bruce,

I think you can use "setup.exe /a" to create a Office Admin pack for later
installation. I guess the script file you mentioned is the MST file which
can be used to deploy Office to domain users.

Hope it helps.

Weird MS Office Problem with Win XP?

Posted: 22 Apr 2004 06:27 AM PDT

I have the same problem and was looking for a solution
It happens every time an Access database is opened. I first says that it "Cannot find C:\whatever\you\clicked\on.mdb or one of its components could not be found". On top of that it Shows an installation dialogue, it runs through the msiscript "preparing to install Microsoft Office 2000 Premium" after it finishes with the "installation" the database will show up

I am running windows 200
Microsoft Office 2000 Premiu
HP E-pc Vectra S/1
20 Gig H

I had it all working before I installed Office XP. I installed Office XP but wasn't compatible with some of my other stuff. I uninstalled Offce XP I have uninstalled office completely, shut down and restarted with a new install from the CD. It happens the same way.
