I can't get it to install but I have read that many people that have had no trouble. I have the corporate Office XP and it won't upgrade?

Can someone tell me or give me a like to the procedure to doing this please?

Thanks....
 
Contact Microsoft, I'm sure they would just love helping a paying customer....:D

I didn't write this, found it on some forum, just make sure you copy all the files on your office xp corp version disk to your hard drive. good luck!

SP1 Update:

firstly it will be easier to just uninstall your current office xp
installation.

Ok run this in the command box (start/run)
D:\setup /a
this will copy the stuff from the office cd to the hard disk
this creates a administration installation point on your HD (c:\office)

then download the service pack from this place (40megs)
http://download.microsoft.com/download/officexpstandard/sp/oxpsp1/w98nt42kme
xp/en-us/oxpsp1a.exe

open the exe and extract the to files to c:\config.msi
create a "temp" dir in C drive

then run these 2 commands in the run box again (separately 1 after the
other)

msiexec /p C:\Config.Msi\MAINSP1_Admin.msp /a C:\Office\PROPLUS.MSI
SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* c:\temp\1.log

msiexec /p C:\Config.Msi\OWC10SP1_Admin.msp /a C:\Office\OWC10.MSI
SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* c:\temp\2.log

it will seem like a quick operation but open the log files created to see if
the msi patch updates were successful (right at the end)

then reinstall office xp from the c:\office location like normal

and now you have a office XP installation which is fully updated

update: this works for enterprise/corporate version (possibly only)

Nope, haven't seen him, I'm sorry Robin, meant no offense, pretty big bloke are you? You might want to learn how to do adminstrative installs, might solve your problem. Good day m8:D
 
Iceman, I was only joking :) Mind you, Most men built like him are some of the nicest people. Nothing to prove see. :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
