Marius '95 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I found a way to install Office 2003 in Win98.Setup now works, but none of the programs can run because of missing dependencies in MSO.DLL:ADVAPI32.DLL- CheckTokenMembership- ConvertSidToStringSidA- ConvertSidToStringSidW- ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW- DecryptFileW- EncryptFileW- LsaClose- LsaNtStatusToWinError- LsaOpenPolicy- LsaRetrievePrivateData- LsaStorePrivateDataKERNEL32.DLL- VerSetConditionMask- VerifyVersionInfoWUSER32.DLL- GetLastInputInfo- SetLayeredWindowAttributes-------------------To install Office, you (may) need:- Win98SE- Gape Service Pack v3.0 beta 4- MDGx 98SE2ME 2-14-2009- Xeno86 KernelEx v4.0 Final 2(thank you all)- Orca (MSI editor)- Office 2003 Professional SetupHow to install:- Copy Office CD in a new directory on HDD.- Open PRO11.MSI with Orca.- Delete these lines:InstallExecuteSequence \ CheckOperatingSystemInstallUISequence \ CheckOperatingSystemSecureObjects \ InjectorService (2 lines)- If KernelEx is disabled by default, open Registry Editor, navigate to HKLM\Software\KernelEx\AppSettings\Flags and add a new DWORD value:*\MSI*.TMP = 0- Doubleclick PRO11.MSI to install.If everything is ok, setup will install Office with no errors. Too bad it can't run, but I hope this problem can be fixed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Did you try to give it mso.dll from office XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius '95 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 I don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awergh Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hmm doesnt work fore me but maybe ill try abit more later when i have less stuff to do.Error 2707. An internal error has occurred. (npoffice )Perhaps you could get MSO.dll from Publisher 2003 standalone because that was supposed to actually support 98,but the office 2002 MSO.dll is probably just as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't have it.M$ has a legit copy here.http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=832332 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius '95 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) M$ has a legit copy here.http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=832332I downloaded the update but there's only SHAREDff.msp inside. I can't extract it, nor install it.Even if I replaced that file, I'm sure it won't work. That would be too easy. awergh, please create a log.msiexec /i pro11.msi /L*v!C:\log.txt Edited October 28, 2009 by Marius '95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beats Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Can't you open the MSP with 7-Zip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Can't you open the MSP with 7-Zip?I think he cannot. But with MsiX.EXE he can all right! @RetroOS: I guess MsiX.EXE, a fantastic command-line tool, able to extract files from .msi, .msm and .msp installation files is indicated, and may help you at this point. Give it a try! Find it here: Heath Stewart's Patch Files Extractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Yes he can extract it with 7zipit will even extract the file from the cab because i just did it last night.The MSO.DLL is in the PCW_CAB_H6639_1.I'm sure you got it from here.

beats Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think he cannot. But with MsiX.EXE he can all right! 7-Zip can extract MSI's and MSP's as well. Unless you still use some ancient version. But MsiX is neat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 7-Zip can extract MSI's and MSP's as well. Unless you still use some ancient version. But MsiX is neat too. @beats & PROBLEMCHYLD: Yes, I can now confirm 7-Zip is able to open .msi and .msp, thanks for the heads up.Last time I tried it, it could not... then I updated 7-Zip many times, but never again tried to open such a file with it, so I wasn't aware of it. Thanks a lot, you both rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 FYI, the same technique works with Word Viewer 2003. I also removed CheckServicPackLevel. Installs but doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman14 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I am curious to see if this would work with KernelEx 4.5.2, in addition to the all the latest updates. Perhaps they can add some of the dependencies needed by Windows 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_coco Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hello! I've tryied what the OP says to modify the installation, but after deleting those entries, when I open the MSI in 98 it says "Error opening this installation package. " and tells me to check with the administrator if this package is valid. The original .MSI also says the same... But it works nice in Win7. Maybe do I need an upgrade to MSIInstaller?
