Installation ended prematurely

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 01:48 PM PDT

Hi Brett,

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 230895 OFF2000:
"Installation Ended Prematurely Because of an Error" When You Run Office
Setup
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;230895


WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
Method 1: Run Setup from a Network Server
If you are in a networked environment and you have access to an
administrative installation of Office 2000, run Setup from this location
instead of your CD-ROM drive. The security settings mentioned in the
"Cause" section of this article do not affect running Setup from a network
server.
Method 2: Turn Off the "Restrict CD-ROM Access to Locally Logged on User
Only" Security Option
If you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged on user only
security option, you can run Setup from your CD-ROM drive. Please see the
documentation on the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager for more
information about modifying this setting.

NOTE: You may have to restart after you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access
to locally logged on user only security option before you can run Setup
from your CD-ROM drive.

For more information about the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager,
visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Lost MS office activation key

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 09:41 AM PDT

Just for interest sake how long have you been using computers? Also,
are you asking a question regarding Product Serial Number for Windows XP
or MS Office XP?

If it is the Windows XP serial number you are after then this should be
stuck at the back of your PC case where you connect all the cables. The
factory installed version of Windows XP will have a different serial
number to that of your actual PC because Dell is authorised to roll out
standard configured systems using standard serial number assigned to
Dell worldwide.

If it is the serial number of your Office XP then this should be on the
CD jewel case or CD cover depending on how this came with your system.

You have to understand that Dell is shipping out millions of systems
every year some with only Windows XP and some with additional software
such as yours. It is difficult for them to standardise a system to
supply you for the lifetime of your PC. After all they are running a
business of selling PCs. Is it still under DELL's warranty of 1 year
(perhaps more if you paid for the extension)?

For the future, you need to organise yourself so that these things don't
get lost. Have you got lot of clutter in your house to make it
difficult for you to store important CDs (and manuals!) safely? Perhaps
you may need to make copies of original CDs and keep them besides your
computer (in your safe house) as these are invariably required when you
install Service Packs and critical patches.

Where should I install Office 2003

Posted: 02 Jun 2004 12:18 PM PDT

You can place the installation anywhere you wish but be advised that there
are several MB of files that will need to go to your boot partition.
Installing to a second partition/hard drive may be a good idea for space
saving, but if you need to reinstall your OS, you will need to reinstall
Office anyway since the boot partition has essential system files.

You can have it installed on one desktop and one laptop. If you replace the
laptop, then uninstall it from the original one. If you replace the
desktop, then uninstall it from the original one. As long as you are
removing it from the old machine, and it is only installed on one desktop
and one laptop, you are in compliance (as long as that is the agreement you
agreed to in your end user license agreement provided with the software you
are installing).

Thats correct, it has to be run minimised.
There are some addons/apps that state that they can minimise OL/OE to the

Problem with Setup

Posted: 31 May 2004 08:13 AM PDT

Hi, Rob,

When you insert the installation disc, it should display a series of screens
that ask you if you want to install Office, and how. You can use these
screens to customize how it's installed, if you so choose. The default, I
believe, would remove all previous versions of Office. So if you make no
choices and just blow through the installation screens (which most of us
do), that's likely to be the default behavior.

Read each of the installation screens that come up while you're installing,
and try overriding the default of removing all previous versions of Office.

If you use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove registry entries
related to the installation state of Office 2000, it is possible that Office
2000 will no longer function properly. However, your upgrade will no longer
recognize that Office 2000 is there, and the Windows Installer will no
longer request installation media (because it won't "see" Office 2000 any
longer).

Microsoft have learned what a pain this is, and current versions of Office
have mitigated the requirement for original media. This requirement still
exists for Office 2000. However, they have recently released a patch for
Office 2000 that may eliminate the need for original installation media; you
could try installing it. Your Office 2000 needs to be at the SR-1 level to
use this patch, but it might be an option for you. The details are covered
in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835220 which
provides links to the downloads.

You could install it, then try your upgrade again.

To the OP, let me play around with the CIW and see if it can be done.

Forgot to tell you that at the bottom of the KB article you referred me to
is this:

"Click Insert AutoText on the Header and Footer toolbar, and then click
Filename and path.
To insert the file name and path into the body of a Word document, point to
AutoText on the Insert menu, point to Header/Footer, and then click Filename
and path."

This is the Filename and path entry that is missing.
