Reinstalling Office 97

You might have a hard time calling MS, since OFF97 is no longer supported.

That's OK, Gordon.....

I was able to "Save As" in the method Sue referenced when
I found it in Outlook Help, BUT, another problem is
snagging me.

I am SO frustrated and hope there is an answer out there!!

Bye!

Why does Office 97 not work after installing Windows XP SP2?

Posted: 31 Aug 2004 04:20 PM PDT

THAT was rather uncalled for - this person is just doing his job - no need
to jump down his throat. If you would like folks to just post the URL to
the MSKB, say so and leave the personal attacks out of it.

I am sure that approach would be more likely to produce the result you want.

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Dave asked:

| Hey Vishal,
|
| Why do you copy and paste the entire KB article when just a link
| would do very nicely indeed. Are you trying to prove anything here?
| This is not a call centre you know. There is no need for the
| transcript of your call centre standard message which you are
| required to read out slavishly to Microsoft customers.
|
| Just give us the link to the kb article like this:
|
| http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;285909
|
| Now show us that you can understand and follow these instructions
| slavishly!
|
| Thank you.

OFF2000: You Cannot Update Office to SP2 Without Installing the Outlook
Security Update
View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q299798
SUMMARY
When you apply the administrative version of the Microsoft Office 2000
Service Pack 2 (SP2) update to an administrative installation of Office
2000, the Outlook Security Update is automatically applied. There is no way
to apply SP2 without the Outlook Security Update.
MORE INFORMATION
The administrative update files for SP2 are Windows Installer patches (.msp
files) that you apply to your administrative share by using a command line
with specific parameters. The Out2kmst.msp, Pptmst.msp, and Excelmst.msp
files update the registry, and the Sp2admin.msp file updates the files on
the computer.

You cannot omit the installation of the Out2kmst.msp file (even if you do
not want the Microsoft Outlook E-mail Security Update) because the
necessary registry updates are contained in the file. Updated versions of
all .msp files must be applied to the computer for the upgrade to succeed.
If you do not apply all .msp files, you place the Office 2000 SP2
Administrative image in an unsupported state.

For additional information about deploying Office 2000 SP2, browse to the
following Microsoft Web site and refer to the Microsoft Office Resource
Kit:

Any addins installed on one and not the other are either broken or will
result in errors. It's better to recreate the accounts or use a 3rd party
tool.

All your response did was enable a dysfunctional game for two to play.

Your response was humorous? Well, it went over like a lead balloon,
like deciding to pat an angrily barking dog on the head has a reasonable
chance of pacifying the dog rather than getting your hand bitten.

Your response baited him as could well be expected and now you
want to pretend to be the victim. And I am quite surprised that the
corporate Microsoft entity which is composed of human beings making
judgments failed to produce guidelines about ignoring John.Doe posts
instead of fueling the fire with your supposedly "humorous" gibe.

This is not the first time I've seen you choose to defend the faith against
troll attacks. It is considered codependent to engage in such behavior.
Your response was either a lie or you are far out of touch with reality.

It annoyed me to see you claim your subtle retaliation was justified
and "above" his tactics. You poked him to see him squeal. Since when
does a corporate entity not follow instructions made by human
authority which have moral/living consequences for an entire culture?

You attempted to represent MS as an "inanimate object" which is
not responsible for its decisions, and that John.Doe was directing
his animosity towards such an inanimate object, when in fact he wrote:
"I do not beieve in enriching rich jerks!" which is a personal perspective.

I might condemn the Alcohol Industry for promoting alcohol to teenagers
which led to Mothers Against Drunk Driving just because I may not know
the names of the individuals involved who decided to target their
advertising.
I may also want to condemn the Tobacco Industry for tempting people to
smoke when the directors knew that it would cause cancer. Because
corporations enclose those industries does not make the corporation
innocent because it does not have a personal identity since its polices are
determined by humans who have faces and names.

So there is nothing wrong with using a corporation name as a shortcut to
meaning the people who are responsible, though I may not know their names.
Your post twisted this legitimate choice.

John.Doe certainly appears to be a woman hater. I see nothing wrong with
your rejecting such a view. But his view and your response to it don't
belong on this forum. As an MVP, you are not above setting a standard
on this forum, but I believe should demonstrate a policy of non-response
to trolls. You do the same thing on other occasions. The degree that my
post is off-topic and cluttering up this newsgroup has been encouraged
by your example. I think as a representative of Microsoft you should act
with professionalism and keep your personal issues out of your responses.

Incidentally, I am not an MS basher. I think computer progress would
be at least eight years lagging in its appearance to the home user if
Microsoft hadn't propelled computer usability and hardware advancement.

I don't want to read your crap any more than John.Doe's crap,
and if you think my post is crap, it was toppled by your dominoe.

That is true for Word and some of the other applications but Outlook
Signature files and PowerPoint templates you need to hunt for. I would like
to see all items with the ablity to store in one central directory for easy
migration to a new system without all the hunting. It would make recovery and
migration simpler.

Installer Configuration Errors

Posted: 29 Aug 2004 07:48 AM PDT

Chris, Garfield, and all who find the same behaviour:

Methods 1&2 (registry changes etc) did not work as
discussed in:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=265194 "OFF2000:
Windows Installer Appears Every Time a Program Is Started".

The only method I have found that will work is:

Method 3a Modified (Kenn:

I discovered this when Access was fixed using the third
method, but Winword and Excel still displyed
the "Installer applet" every time they were started.

NOTE: If the original installation was from a network
drive, you MUST disable the network interface or Office
2000 repeats the same mistake again and again!

Instead I:

Reinstalled Microsoft Access, AND Word AND Excel
(one at a time with reboot between each correction to make
sure registry was updated)
(and/or any other misbehaving office 2000 program)

To resolve this problem, rename the Msaccess.exe and
System.mdw files, and then reinstall Microsoft Access. To
do this, follow the steps for your computer's operating
system.

NOTE: By default, the Msaccess.exe file is installed in
the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10" folder,
and the System.mdw file is installed in the "C:\Program
Files\Common Files\SYSTEM" folder.

<<<< THIS WORKS

Method 3b: Reinstall Microsoft WinWord

To resolve this problem, rename the Winword.exe file to
OLD_Winword.exe, and then click on the Winword icon in the
START > PROGRAMS folder, this will kick off the install
procedure, you will be prompted to insert your original CD
and then it will correct the problem with Winword. To do
this, follow the steps for your computer's operating
system.

Method 3c: Reinstall Microsoft Excel

To resolve this problem, rename the Excel.exe file to
OLD_Excel.exe, and then click on the Excel icon in the
START > PROGRAMS folder, this will kick off the install
procedure, you will be prompted to insert your original CD
and then it will correct the problem with Excel.

================================================== ==
To do this, follow the steps for your computer's operating
system.


Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0:
Quit all instances of Word, including Microsoft Outlook if
Word is selected as your e-mail editor.
Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or
Folders.
In the Named box, type Msaccess.exe.
In the Look in box, select your local hard disk. (If you
are running Word from a network server, select an
alternate user template location.)
Click Find Now to search for the file.
For each occurrence of the Msaccess.exe file that appears
in the Find program, right-click the file. Click Rename on
the shortcut menu. Name the file a new name, such as
OldMsaccess.exe or Msaccess.exe-1.dot, and then press
ENTER.
Repeat steps 3 through 6 to rename the System.mdw file.
On the File menu, click Close to close the Find dialog
box.
Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Microsoft
Access. If you are prompted for the application CD-ROM,
insert the CD-ROM, and then click OK to continue the
application Setup.
After Setup finishes, start Microsoft Access.
On the File menu in Microsoft Access, click Exit to quit
Microsoft Access, and then start Microsoft Access again.
