Re: Office Update and Registry Errors ?



Why don't you have the original CDs? If lost, you can request a replacement.

||| I am running Office 2003 Professional and have tried many times to
||| install Office Updates but they always fail. I am getting desperate
||| because I cannot install even the vital security updates !
||| Most of the steps in MS articles have been tried but unfortunately
||| I don't have the original CD so there are some which I cannot try.
|||
||| Does anyone know what the following error log text means ?
||| "Expected product {901C0409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}, found
||| product {90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}."
|||
||| This appears on all error logs for all installation attempts.
||| Do I have a registry problem and how can I resolve this if I do ?
|||
||| I have not had the computer from 'new' but the Office 2003 pro was
||| installed when I first bought it.
||| Another point is that up to March last year I was able to install
||| security updates.
||| I think something happened after that which now causes installation
||| failure and I'm hoping the info in the error log file will hold the
||| key to fixing the problem.
||| Any ideas ?
|||
||| Thanks for your help
