Installing office 2000 premium

[gilesw]

I've got this same problem listed in this url that when installing office2k premium on xp home with sp2 integrated it asks for the xp sp2 cd. Does anyone know of registry fix to sort this out. I think it only occurs with xp home. I know it's an old version of office but lots of our customers still seem to use it.

It does only occur with home as i use it on xp pro.

Installed with no issues and i have xpsp2 slipstreamed in, no askig for cd or anything.

Reading your other forum you seem to have found a solution. So what is your actual question now? or are you asking for further advice?

The problem is that a lot of the time the customers don't have an original cd, they may only have a recovery disk and a COA stuck on their pc. So they either need to borrow a xp cd from us or download and burn a sp2 disk neither of which is ideal.

I'm hoping i can find a registry fix or i'm going to try this method,

but editing the original source files from the cd.

That ms fix appears to have solved the issue.
