office xp + sp1


uruguay

Recommended Posts

I've tried slipstreaming, i've tried installing, i've tried witchcraft

I've even lit up a candle to the great Hobbit -

Result - zilch, nada, FAILURE, why do I feel like having a big L

stamped on my forehead.

Am talking about installing sp1 on office xp pro.

All I get is the following message

upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program yada yada yada

which is hocus pocus, 'cuz i got the rite files stuck in the same directory

Help anyone

Them I followed, and the error ALWAYS pops rite after step 4 - #4

I also found:

URL DISABLED..-Mod[/color:6931a6cfbc]

which has almost verbatim the same set of instructions.

any other clues

Thanks

i used the page that Rev has posted,to apply sp1 to ofice XP the other day.

i kept getting errors,because i kept changing locations of where the files should be kept.

i then went back and did EXCACTLY everything as it suggests,

great,it worked.

DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.

there was no need to do that drew, modifying windows is ok, its only like you applying skins which is something your not supposed to do unless the skin is signed by microsoft.. but you make it work.

i dont know the urls removed but can someone repost them. talking about warez, warez releases, etc isnt illegal. hosting the files, or serial numbers IS. so please dont post them or DIRECT links to them (a link to google showing the page would be ok for example)

Who said anything 'bout wawa

am just trying to install the patch and it won't work for the life of me

oh well, if everyone is so thin skinned, might as well

reformat and go for my free and trusted mandrake 8.2

and pay up 70 bucks for star office, if i feel like getting the latest version and cream it winex for linux and have my cake and eat it too.

sorry guys

by the way have any of you seen the latest sweet talking letter

from msoft to registered owner telling us to pay up now for future updates or have to buy full programs 'cuz there won't be upgrades, well i have and it ain't pretty at all. mostly when a whole bunch of moola is involved and you get less than 6 weeks to pay up or else, makes you think three times 'bout wawa

think again DREW
