Office 97 Pro wont install

Posted: 13 Apr 2006 01:55 AM PDT

Benson, XP operating and MS Office 97 are totally
compatible. I have been using 97 Office Pro and SBE version
since it came out with all the various MS operating systems.
I have had no problem except for the known Access license
issue that has been documented since 97 came out. I even
have Office versions 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 all peacefully
coexisting on the same computer at work since I teach all
versions of the software. I have even had them all running
on the same computer at the same time (with separate
template directories so the Normal.dot in word doesn't get
screwed up.)

Almost any issues noted with the installation of Office 97
has been related to an unstable operating system.

Perhaps you don't know how to write something that can be printed. Any
Microsoft Application won't print a blank document!!

Uninstalling trial version

Thank you. I did locate the .pst files but could not back these up - trial
version had expired. However, have uninstalled trial and installed
professional and everything seems to be working fine. Appreciate your help.

I don't know which template he was trying to download. That's what I
suspected but I haven't heard a response to which template he needed.

Office 2003 Basic Edition - Installation Error 1603

Posted: 06 Apr 2006 09:10 PM PDT

Okay, problem solved, but I still have a headache, because it's kind of
silly that such a common problem (based on all the googling I did) doesn't
have a solution that is easily accessible, i.e., there are a lot of
nonworking solutions that come up first. I didn't find it until after I
received the error message using the LIS Tool and added that error message
into my search, and that was after I'd done all the things I've mentioned
and more.

I still have no idea exactly what it is that fried it, and if anyone has a
clue, I'd like to know.

The thread is here (in microsoft.public.office.update):

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.officeupdate/browse_frm/thread/536f81758ab54956/1e7c2279de75d363?tvc=1&q=The+Local+Installation+So urce+Tool+has+encountered+an+error%3A+0x80070002#1 e7c2279de75d363

and the specific message in the thread with the solution that worked for me
is here:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.officeupdate/msg/e9913ebbfe657213

or, in case the link is broken by OE, here:

http://snipurl.com/ou71

I had to use Safe Mode to delete the temp files and the two folders:
Microsoft Office and Update Office 11.

Just for the record, the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility alone did not
solve the problem but my guess would be that it's a necessary part of the
process. The LIS Tool simply did not run.

I hate mucking with the registry, and I was holding my breath as I did it
(stupid, I know, it's just more software), but the steps detailed above are
very easy to follow, and you'd have to be pretty careless to make a mistake.

About the only downside is that I am now using my aircard to download about
105 MB of updates, but as soon as I get dressed (I was up until 3 am mucking
with this, and I've been at it since I woke up this morning at 9), I'll be
taking myself and my laptop elsewhere to get it all done more quickly.

I am grateful that these groups exist, because I did not want to go to Dell,
and I did not want to start all over again (yes, all my data is backed up,
but it's still hours and hours of work).

Thanks for being here.

Security Warning about Macros in Office 2003

Posted: 05 Apr 2006 05:39 PM PDT

Hi Ian,

The big deal about the PDF maker is that it will automatically create
bookmarks and TOC from the Office document in the finished PDF (you see
it as a navigation structure in the final PDF).

I'm also not sure if the PDF printer will keep the text as "text"
allowing it to be search-able in the final PDF.

This is a prime candidate for a free and open-source software add-in for
Office. Being open-source would make it easy to adapt to new Office
versions such as 2007; there have been problems in the past where Adobe
v5 PDF maker wasn't compatible with Office 2003 forcing people to
upgrade the Adobe software too.

Unable to reinstall Microsoft office after installing a new hard d

Posted: 04 Apr 2006 04:00 PM PDT

I don't understand why you would need a modem to *install* Office but I
guess it could happen. Since you obviously have an internet connection on
another computer, did you try going to the modem manufacturer's website to
download them?

Unable to run apps...

Posted: 04 Apr 2006 03:11 PM PDT

Late nights and long hours really do give you a brain fart!

Turns out that I had to register the software via telephone (exceeded my
registration quota). And, although it allowed me to run under admin login
after clearing this warning, it does not since this process is
administrative, thus the error message.

Interesting that its' allowing multiple sessions to use this single
installation (or is there something special about the MAPS versions). I
surely do not want to violate any rules!

I do want to thank everyone for their assistance... Hope to be able to
return the favor to the group someday soon.

Suresh,

Could you tell us how did you install Office for the first time? Did
you have original CD or did you get a copy of the CD from a friend or
did you copy it from your office Network? Either way we need to know
this before we can give you any practical solutions.
