Problem with SP1 for MS Office 2003

GMeagle86 · August 12th, 2004

I am trying to install an update to Microsoft Office 2003, I downloaded the Service Pack, and when I try to install it, it says "Invalid Drive F." I can't figure out what that means....I don't have a Drive F on my computer. I have A, C, D, E but no F. It won't let me install the update. Any suggestions? Thanks

Did you install Office from a network drive or a pre-existing drive F? I believe SP1 needs to get files from the Office CD if it can't find it on your computer, and maybe it thinks that the CD is in drive F, but unfortunately doesn't exist anymore.

GMeagle: I get similar errors when I try to install additional features into Office from the Office program itself. However, when I run the install file from the CD, I am able to add the features flawlessly. But I don't think that'll tell you anything. Maybe try loading the CD contents to the computer temporarily.
