Upgrading Office 2003 Small Business to Pro

Posted: 24 Mar 2006 07:52 AM PST

It would appear then that I need to add Access to the existing installation
and forget about upgrading.

Which version of Microsoft Office? AFAIK nothing will work for version 9 (2000).

There are several programs to show that key.

After downloading MS Office 2003, no longer have Adobe Acrobat.

Before you've downloaded the Adobe Reader (it's no longer called Acrobat
Reader), make sure you have an antivirus program installed. (How could you
not have one installed/current these days?)

Strange Office 2000 behavior.

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 10:19 AM PST

We where reinstalling because the 1st install was in french and for
some reason the user wanted to use a multi-lingual version of Office
and to finally go back to only french (don't ask me why those request
where accepted).

We where uninstalling using add/remove program and installing with with
the same command line we used to install on all computer (msi with a
mst).

The installation was basically a normal install of office 2000, so
per-machine.

Office2000 Installer Problem

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 06:58 AM PST

Hi,

You may be experiencing the problem where MSIEXEC starts for the wrong
product? When you start Outlook, an Installer pop-up starts in the
middle of the screen and then asks you for a disk, is that right? If you
are able to see the title bar of the Installer pop-up it will tell you
the product it's trying to "repair" and then usually the first step to
fixing it all is to get rid of this other product first.

Then uninstall the whole of Office and then re-install it. Test your
Office CD on a different machine first to ensure there's nothing wrong
with it.

User license problem

It amazes me that some people will assume a problem is related to Office
first. If I couldn't get my email, I wouldn't blame Outlook. I'd call my ISP
and make sure everything was okay on their end. And if it was I'd get them
to help me verify my settings.

I guess everything is Microsoft's fault. ;-)

They all forget this Jo-Ann. Anyway they never finalize a disc so they can
continue to do other things with it. (hint to the poster)

Office 2003 Installation Source Troubles

Posted: 22 Mar 2006 03:00 AM PST

so far no answers here... I really hope someone could give me some
advice.

What I did meanwhile:
- used the MSI Cleanup Utility to remove the Frontpage 2003 install
- tried to update Office 2003 Standard: no go
- Removed the Office 2003 Standard MSO Cache using LSItool.exe
- again tried to update Office 2003 Standard: no go.
- Reinstalled Frontpage 2003
- Checked if in the registry all keys to a valid source where still
there according http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884298/en-us
- Checked if all needed files in Windows\installer are still there and
with good permisisons - they are.

When running an update, I always get that "Update Failed"
Ohotfix.log gives me this:

Starting the log on 03/22/2006 at 18:58:21...

Seeing if patch C:\DOCUME~1\Paul\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\MAINSP2f f.msp

The update failed.
Finished processing the update on 03/22/2006 at 18:58:21.
Encountered error 1612 while updating.
Launching Setup Watson...
Could not find dw.exe.


So it's about "error 1612 while updating". Can't find a lot about this.

Meanwhile, some news:
- when going to Office Update -> check for updates -> still doesn't work
- BUT I went to Microsoft Update, which suggested me Office SP2 and I
could even download and install it!
So I'm now on SP2 but still in the same situation as before: can't apply
any other updates (not manual, not through Office Update). Can't Repair
& Detect, can't re-run setup, can't even remove Office without that
"local Installation source error" or "update failed" error.
