    Hi Mary--Thanks for taking a swing at this. I'm really greatful for any
    help. Knocking out annoying Wisptis probably took config.msi files that
    it needs and now setup wants to stuff it back in. Wisptis is explained
    below. It's installed by MOS 2003, the Journal viewer, and Adobe Acrobat
    Reader 6.0 from what I can see from googling it. I have Adobe 6 also.
    Wisptis was uninstalled. I should have tried tip to get rid of it, and I
    should have thought of it it's so basic, but I didn't see it when I went
    after it--but this method just below might have still given me the install
    problem if it disabled or got rid of those config.msi files.

    An easier way to do it is to right click on the file
    C:\windows\system32\wisptis.exe, click Properties, go to the security tab
    and remove all permissions except An easier way to do it is to right click
    on the file C:\windows\system32\wisptis.exe, click Properties, go to the
    security tab and remove all permissions except for Read permissions.You'll
    never see it run again.

    *Where do you mean to go to "options" and disable Office plug-ins?* What do
    you think of trying to get back files that setup wants for its never needed
    turkey wisptis (unless you are using a paritcular tablet component) using
    System File Checker? At least running SFC rarely causes any problems.
    Also do you think there is any way to download any tool for the resource kit
    that will let me do a detailed enough or selective enough custom install to
    single out wisptis and keep it from installing? My reasoning there is if I
    can keep wisptis from knocking on the door with the setup, the setup will
    move on to completion.

    *I'm going to try what you suggested as soon as I can clear up the answer to
    where you mean by Options to disable plug-ins.*

    I also wondered if by running System File Checker, I could get back any
    config.MSI files would help, but setup is balking everytime on getting
    wisptis in by saying it doesn't have access to certain different numbered
    config.msi files.

    ******** This all started out with my wanting to associate BCM with Outlook
    and now I can't get Office in. I'm ready to try setup with script
    blocking disabled, but I'm not following where "in options" I can disable
    Office Plug-ins. Options on the Norton interface? IE Internet Options? I
    couldn't find any Office Plug-Ins. ********

     I can't do any kind of repair from Maintainance Mode of course, because
    Office is not installed. I saw the KB--it's no help. Like a lot of KBs
    it has a helpful sounding title with very little of substance inside. The
    problem with a 1321 setup error is all kinds of things can cause it. I need
    to explain to you what wisptis.exe is and how it came about.

    Every time I try to run set up, it almost gets through and the the bar stops
    with good old wisptis.exe on the box. I put the wispis info below so you
    could browse it. I didn't want to distract from telling you at the top what
    I think happened. I got a removal tool from one of the sites below for
    wiptis. I can see it as an .rar file in my downloads file. Also after
    rereading the desciption I don't know if some reg key could have been
    modified by wisptis to make reinstall of Office hard. Now when I try the
    setup, it runs to close to completion, then the progress bar stops with the
    label "installing wisptis.exe" * I think when I ran the removal tool
    (successfully) to get rid of wisptis it also took out some some of the
    config.msi files that good ole wiptis wants to install. 99.999999% of
    people running Office don't use a tablet. The development teams and product
    managers for Office could have put it on a MSFT downloads site with links
    from the MSFT Office site. I'd love to see whoever got the great idea to
    explain what they were thinking when they wove it into Office 2003. Now I
    understand why I hear over and over and over that Redmond developers are
    completely on a planet of their own, and often not even making great contact
    with the Product managers and their teams.

    I was asked by a MSFT Office specialist to meticulously uninstall Office
    which was working just fine. One thing that spooked people and I can't
    explain is that for a transient period of time, I was getting an Outlook
    2000 splash screen on opening Office 2003 but after that I was getting the
    normal Outlook splash screen. OL was working just fine; I just couldn't get
    BCM associated with it after trying every thing I could think of. I had
    Office XP, and then when I got MOS 2003 I let setup uninstall it. I mean
    of course uninstalling and reinstalling MOS 2003 would be no big deal--but I
    had gotten a lot of extras from the MSFT site and others that were nifty and
    I hated going after them again. Here's some context for wisptis? Do you
    have it showing up in processes on any of your MOS 2003 machines?

    *What Wisptis is--among other things, certainly not needed in Micorosft
    Office--it should have been an optional download.* I have long ago given up
    on trying to figure out the answer to "What were they thinkiing?" when it
    comes to developers or Product Teams on the Redmond campus. "Let's put in a
    pen data collection component for Tablet PC whether anyone has a tablet or
    not. It'll serve as a great memory hog with excellent potential to freeze
    computers and send CPU to 100%!!! But let's not tell anyone this can
    happen. Let them be surprised."

    http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:2U612r2ecOgJ:www.hyperboard.co.uk/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D2517+wisptis.exe&hl=en

    Wisptis.exe (\Windows\System32) This executable runs as a system
    service that provides pen-data collection for other components of the
    SDK. When a component needs to interact with the pen (for example, to
    collect ink or to detect gestures), this executable is spawned as a
    service to communicate directly with the input device. On a Tablet PC,
    Wisptis.exe interacts with the digitizer, whereas on a desktop it
    interacts with the mouse as well. The executable’s name is an acronym
    that references an outdated internal name for the team that developed it
    (Windows Ink Services Platform Tablet Input Subsystem).
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ----
    Well I don't have a Tablet PC and I certainly don't want an unnecessary
    process eating up my memory resources.
    You cannot get rid of wisptis.exe by renaming or deleting it: Windows File
    Protection would cause it to reinstall the next time you run Adobe Acrobat.
    There is even a rumor about a bug in wisptis.exe itself whereby it keeps
    part of the current user registry hive locked, preventing updates and
    eventually resulting in a corruption of the registry hive (which as reported
    leads to a "Userenv event 1517" on logging off or shutting down).
    Others reported GDI leaks and CPU hogging. I haven't noticed the latter but
    can confirm that at one point, the number of open GDI handles by wisptis.exe
    was above 1000, which is unacceptable.
    So by and large it seems wisptis.exe can make a thorough nuisance of itself.
    To uninstall wisptis and Microsoft's Tablet PC Components on your PC, you
    must delete the following registry entries:

    Now you can also safely delete \Windows\System32\Wisptis.exe. Make sure the
    process is not running; otherwise kill it before deletion.
    Fully tested on an up-to-date Windows XP SP1.
    Wisptis is a Tablet PC platform component that someone on the Office
    development team decided to load as far as I can tell with Office 2003, even
    though 99.9% of Office users don't have a Tablet interacting with their PC.
    It could have been made available on the Office site, the Windows Mobile
    site, and the MS Tablet site, but no--they made it a mandatory install as
    far as I can tell.  Most people tell me it's listed in processes when they
    install Office 2003, but some have said they don't see it.  It takes up CPU,
    and when it's not in the system 32 folder it can be a virus or Trojan like
    so many normal processes exploited by them, and it's very difficult if not
    impossible to keep it from starting up.  So I ran a toolfrom one of these
    sites to uninstall it and I think deleted a few reg keys associated with it.
    Now I think I'm paying the price.
    I got the removal tool which did the job or the removal tool and the
    sequence of steps from one of these  sites:

    Couillon Inc. has fixed the issues with the WISPTIS.EXE process. You'll see
    your non-tablet PC freaking when this process is running, and you'll have
    this process running if you have Microsoft Journal Viewer or Adobe
    Acrobat/Reader 6.0 or MS Office System 2003 installed
    Of course this fix is available through our Downloads section.
    Enjoy It!
    UPDATE: We've re-released the fix with some minor improvements...
    You can download it over here
