I noticed that the answer to my question about the missing registry entries is already provided by user "OverFlow" in the same topic that I quoted from. See: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=579833 You will need a donor system for getting the registry entries that list the Office 2003 patches. On my system, the patches are listed under: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\3140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches]
