I purchased Office 97 Professional to install on an older computer I
purchased from my company as an addition to my home office. When installing,
everything installs and runs except Access. I keep getting the message
Microsoft Access can't start because there is not license for it on this
machine. What can I do to get the computer to open Access? The computer is
a Dell Deminsion V333C (1999). >>

Office 2003 asks for Office 2000 Small Business CD

Posted: 02 Apr 2005 01:11 PM PST

All OK now. You definitely pointed me in the right direction, but it was
more complex. When I was logged on as me, the list of removable programs in
the control panel was OK - no remaining Office 2K listings. When I l;ogged
on as my wife, both Office 2000 SR-1 and the Disc2 Small business additions
were listed. I am supposing there were duplicate registry entries maybe from
when I upgraded from ME to XP/Home? Anyway, uninstall wouldn't work because
of missing msi files. After a little research on the microsfot site, I
figured out what they were and copied them from the CD's in to the
directories they were asking for them in. All I had to do then was hit
ignore a gazillion times when uninstall went looking for files allready
uninstalled.

The easy way would have been to directly edit the regsitry, but I don't know
enough XP internals to do that with any confidence. This worked w/o bad side
effects.

Again, thank you for the pointer!

patch package error???

By damaged this is waht I mean. My office programs still show up when I go to
"start, programs", but when trying to open it up starts up windows installer.
The a: drive chatters twice and then this appears " The Windows installer
failed to install the program associated with this file. Contact sys admin."
When viewing installed programs through "add/remove programs", it doesn't
show any of the twenty or so software titles that are actually installed. Do
you know what I mean? Can't get the old version uninstalled and I can't
reinstall a new one. What to do????

Under XP I need to install previously installed software

OEM programs live and die with the computer on which they came and are not
transferrable. You will need to obtain a retail version of Office for your
new computer.

Note to all - if you get Office OEM, you are getting a far less valuable
package than the slightly more expensive retail version since the OEM is
tied to that one machine only.

How to Repair Office Installation w/o Program Launch?

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 09:59 PM PST

You should have done a repair install of XP. Check your HDD in Explorer, I'll bet that you find 2 Windows folders and that is why you had to reinstall all of your programs.

My suggestion would be to save all data to removable media and start over.

How was the software originally deployed? Group Policy? Running setup from

How/why do you have a volume license verision of Office 2003 when you only

InfoPath Activation: Invalid Product Key no chance to find a phone

Thanks for your effort. Unfortunately it did not work out. I finally found a
phone number and talked to MS (about 6 different departments) for about 3
hours (no kidding) and finally they figured out that they can do nothing for
me and that I have to order it again :-(

Project 2003 install broke Word/Excel 2000?

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 06:30 AM PST

Hi Bob,

Thanks for posting back so quickly.

I was of the idea that the recommended course of action would be something
like that below but it was as much looking for clarification that installing
only a single app of Office 2003 [in this case Project] could/would 'break'
other apps [in this case Word/Excel] that were of the Office 2000 variant.

I take it that installing a single Office 2003 app *can* cause such issues
in other apps in Office 2000 then?

Regards,



David

There is a tool for moving the MSOCache folder. However, this is not a

Hi Ram,

While MS Works Suite includes MS Word 2002, it's
not a part of the MS Office product family.

You may want to also post this in the MS Works group
(link below). Check to see that you're logged in

Office Pro Installation File not found

Posted: 26 Mar 2005 05:23 PM PST

In Browsing through the rest of the posts here and trying the ideas others
have replied, this seems to be a common problem in that one or more of the
..cab files is either corrupted, will not be recognized etc. After Posting my
initial note here, I emailed Microsoft and they are sending me another copy
out. In the meantime, I have found a resolution to my particular file problem
which may or may not help some of you others out here having the same
problem. The .cab file that I am having problems with is a common file
between the "Standard" and "Pro" versions. Not all the .cab files included
with each version are the same, so if you do try this it may or may not work
for you. Although resourseful, this is not what some of you would be likely
to call a viable solution, but this is what I have done. I copied all of the
files that will copy from the cd to a share file on my hard-drive. I then
downloaded the Office 2003 Standard Edition Trial Version, installed but
prior to the installer clearing all the temp files created by the
self-extracting .exe, copied the one .cab file into the previosly copied
share folder. I then ran the installer from the local folder instead of the
cd and was able to install the entire Pro package over the standard and all
seems to be fine. I will be re-installing when I recieve the new CD, just to
make sure that all is good, but this has me back up and running and working
on my ongoing projects.
