I know that there are ways to retain settings but I've never done it so I
can't list them. What I can do is tell you that this question is asked
*often* in this newsgroup. It is always a good idea to read the archives of
a newsgroup before posting a question.

Windows installer keeps running

Posted: 25 Jun 2006 10:59 AM PDT

Thanks Mary, and Paula (previous).

I suppose I'm really stuck, but unlike you folks, I think I have a more
legitimate gripe with MS. I'm not a developer, just a registered Office2003
Pro user. I received an unsolicited email from MS offering me a free trial
of 2007. I'm an executive manager (not IT) who was invited years ago to a
one-day MS course when 2003 was being readied for release. I was given a
free copy of 2003 and a day of training, I'm sure as an inducement to talk it
up in my company and others. I admittedly did not read the offer terms this
time, and recognize they covered their '6' with it, but still and all I
consider it deceptive.

I don't live in the 'beta world', but, as evidenced by the many problems
like mine, do like having the latest edition. MS should never offer beta
installs, especially those that are irreversible, to rank and file users. I
thought it was a chance to test a new product and, if I liked it would
purchase it when the license expired. No more, no less. I wasn't contacted
as a paid or volunteer developer/tester.

Does that make sense? I've lost 3 days so far and believe it will be one
more before I can be back to where I started last week.

Like Milly says - contact Dell. Microsoft will *not* help you with an OEM
version. (Of course the OEMs rarely do either but it is their
responsibility.

Except in terms of time and aggravation? No, but read the caveats very
carefully and be prepared for all kinds of beta problems.

MSOCache and ClipArt Media Content CD under Office 2007

Posted: 24 Jun 2006 04:15 AM PDT

Hi Jan,

Unfortunately, the MSOCache folder is a mandatory part of Office 2007. It's intention is to greatly reduce the times when Office
asks for the original CD. If you delete the folder, Office apps should, the next time you run them start the installer and ask for
the CD/installation source again.

To add to Mary's reply on the graphics, all of the graphics that came with the XP Media content CD are also available through
Insert=>Clipart in the Office 2007 apps via the online site
http://office.microsoft.com/clipart
(or for Office 2007 beta http://officebeta.iponet.net/clipart )

=========

Hello everyone,

I have succeeded in installing Office 2007 Beta 2 but install procedure left
a huge MSOCache directory in the root of my drive. I am short of disk space
and would like to get rid of it. Can you please help me with advice how to do
it safely? Can I just simply delete it?

My second questions relates to Office XP Media Content CD that contains some
35000 clipart files. I have been using those file for the last 4.5 year
almost daily in Office XP. The Office 2007 setup did not recognize those
ClipArt files during installation which is a pity. I kindly ask for advice
how to have those recognized by Office 2007.

Thank you in advance for being kind and willing to help me.

Office Professional 2003 (Home Use) Package Damaged cannot read Prod. Key

Posted: 23 Jun 2006 12:24 PM PDT

Hi Fred,

The MS Office Home Use Program is a special 'sub' program benefit purchased by companies with MS Office Enterprise/volume license
agreements. The company, rather than Microsoft, generally provides support to the Home Use program clients that are supported under
the company's license.

========== 
Help!

Just received my vanilla package of 2003 Professional through the Home Use
Program and the package is damaged so that the first 5 characters of the
product key cannot be read.

I only paid a small amount for this under the home use program and I don't
think I should have to pay for support for a damaged product. Nothing on
the package about what to do if the contents are damaged....

Am I in Catch 22 land?

Can someone direct me on how to resolve this or get a replacement?

Kind Regards,

Fred >>

100% Percent Positive because if I remove the Office 2003 and reinstall then
Access 2003 is installed.

Let me clarify

The User has

Access 97 (Add and Remove - Programs Office 97, Professional Edition)
Office (Add and Remove - Office XP with FrontPage)

If I install Office 2003 I get all apps except Access 2003
When I uninstall Office 2003 and reinstall Office 2003 Access is installed.

By the way, the installer will post something into the application event log
whenever the installer kicks off. One of those entries will state what
component is missing (it will be a long alpha-numeric number). If you can
post the text of that entry, I might be able to get someone from Microsoft
to identify component part to see if it tied to Office or some other MS
program that uses Office shared components.
