Going from Free trial to purchased

Posted: 01 Apr 2006 12:55 PM PST

Thanks JoAnn for your help though. I appreciate your time! I believe I may
have figured it out. The error message (1406) provides results when searched
but it is pretty complex. It seems to be a known issue. I've followed the
steps up til 7-b. I don't know what the Instance Component Set.# is.

Here are the instructions I've found to correct the problem.
Important This article contains information about how to modify the
registry. Make sure to back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure
that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more
information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
256986 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/) Description of the
Microsoft Windows registry
SYMPTOMS
You try to install Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact
Manager. During or at the end of the installation process, you may receive
the following error message or a similar error message:
Error 1406 Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Verify that you have
sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
CAUSE
This issue may occur if you do not have sufficient permissions to modify
sections of the registry. These permissions are required to install Business
Contact Manager. This issue occurs when the permission for the Everyone group
of the \SOFTWARE registry subkey is not set to Full Control.
RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly
by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might
require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.To
resolve this issue, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type
control userpasswords, and then click OK.
2. Create a new computer administrator account.
3. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
4. In Registry Editor, right-click HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, and then
click Permissions.
5. Click Add, type Everyone, and then click OK.
6. Under Group or user names, click Everyone. Under Permissions, click to
select Full Control in the Allow column, and then click OK.
7. Follow these steps for the following subkeys: •
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version\Setup
a. Locate and then click the subkey.
b. Delete the InstanceComponentSet.# string value in the right panel. Note
that # is a number, and the value of this key is
{66563AD8-637B-407F-BCA7-0233A16891AB}.

8. Unregister and then reregister the Microsoft Windows Installer service.
To do this, follow these steps:a. Click Start, click Run, type msiexec
/regserver, and then click OK.
b. Click Start, click Run, type msiexec /unregister, and then click OK.

9. Insert the Business Contact Manager installation CD, and then follow the
prompts to install.

Office 2003 Local Installation Source

Posted: 31 Mar 2006 10:02 AM PST

used the setupstd.exe, In the MST generated no source paths where inputed
into CIW during MST creation. I didn't script to delete setup files so to
recap what your saying with all conditions you stipulated met. There will be
no source path no network or CD. So if the files in msocache get corrupted
the resolution is to reinstall this office package again....however the
likehood of corruption of msocache on local PC should be finite on a properly
managed network.

Setup.exe vs MSIEXEC with Office 2003?

Posted: 30 Mar 2006 03:13 AM PST

Hi Bob,
 
directly from an MSI directly to solve some problems that 
Using just the MSI isn't considered to be a 'supported 
note the box labeled "important" 
I'd guess there are folks using their own methods and 3rd 

OK, from what I can gather their only concern is "system verification", this
doesn't worry me as the same rules apply to any other MSI deployment. In
other words, it's my job to ensure the system is "verified". However, the
language used in that paragraph says "DO NOT", and that's a concern for the
reasons you stated (not fully supported etc).
 
Point as the source or to use a Local Installation Source 

Yes, well I'm not the only one that thinks LIS is a "barmy" (quoted from a
website) idea. It seems like a security risk to me, where they'll end up
with CAB files in their "hidden" local cache that contain vulnerable older
versions of things like EXCEL.EXE? I took one look at the MSOCache and
OSE.exe when Office 2003 was first released and decided to steer well clear.
 
be 'messier' than putting the parameters in a batch 
batch and ini are text based command lists.

At first I thought SETUP.INI was a good idea, but I have created a tiny
generic deployment tool that can install/manage/uninstall not just Microsoft
products but others too such as Adobe. The Setup.exe for Office is causing
me headaches because I can't use the same calls from the MSIEXEC service;
one example is that my tool can check to see if Office 2003 is already
installed (e.g. from a CD) and then act accordingly such as uninstalling the
mismatched product first and then installing the correct one - useful for
corporate mergers. The other thing is that I want all parameters to be set
in ONE place; I don't want some things set inside SETUP.INI and others in
TRANSFORMs and CMD lines; as I manage Office 2003, Frontpage 2003, Project
2003, that's 3 x SETUP.INI to worry about. With MSIEXEC I can merely set the
properties for all three products at run time. Of course it's still possible
to do the above with Setup.exe, but not in the elegant way I'd like.
 
depending on how / where they might be used 

Yes, if I'd known what the "Office Web Components" were a few months back
I'd never have selected that feature for install! ActiveX was always a bad
idea; if you're going to put something on the "web" it needs to work in
browsers other than IE and on platforms other than Windows. Even for
Windows-only, it's a bad idea as the ActiveX tends to go wrong when you've
got non-admin users and tight security settings and by nature you get a lot
of security flaws found in ActiveX which then allow system level access
because of parts of IE being part of the operating system. The steps users
are expected to take in KB828950 and the "licensing considerations" are
enough to put anyone off; life is too short for such nonsense.

Anyway, the links you posted have clarified the issue of Setup.exe vs
MSIEXEC, I think it's worth trying my new MSIEXEC system to see if it works,
and in theory it will also work with Office 2007.

Full 100% Uninstall Office XP

Posted: 29 Mar 2006 01:26 PM PST

Well I updated OL (2k to 03k) recently and did'nt have any of the problems
you mention, but then I was using the same accounts, and in the process I
created a new 03k pst.
Using the mail applet would get rid of all, including profile, but as I
understand it removing the data file merely removes it from the profile. ie
its not deleted.
I did finish up creating a new profile, had some OL probs, whether this was
because of upgrade I cannot say.

"Send To - E-mail Recipient" Not Working

Posted: 28 Mar 2006 12:48 AM PST

First, have you tried uninstalling all of Office (make backups of your files
including the .pst file for Outlook) and run the Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility? Then try reinstalling only Office XP and see if it works.

2000 & XP: Concurrent Installation

Posted: 26 Mar 2006 02:43 PM PST

Agree excessive hassle ... likely ditch 2003 (WORD & OL) for a later day.

I have clients that use only Word 2000 and use of XP or 2003 in editing
(inserting Comments, etc) does NOT result in completely compatible when
re-opened in 2000, even when the 2000 compatibility options are selected. We
have over the last couple years with various new users run time and time
againinto this lack of backward compatibility .... with many efforts to find
work-arounds that just never get there.

Thanks for the reply
