I update msiexec to 4.5, ran window installer cleanup (this is a clean install - nothing to cleanup), Whether this deletion is happening after an error detection or if it is a bug, I have no idea. Using filemon, I can see where the installer is reading the file from the /office subfolder mess, and successfully copying into For some reason the file in question is missing from the msocache folder, all the other files of that subfolder are there. Some sleuthing shows that the files in the /office folder are being copied to various locations in the /msocache folder on the hardĭrive. Nothing works again, no matter what I do. Then shortly it comes back up again and pointing to the desktop is once again futile. I do this and it works, it starts installing. I found a search result that said to copy the /office.en-us folder and contents to the desktop, run setup and when the error comes up point to the desktop. Run the setup from there and this time it trips up at /office.en-us/officemui.msi.Īgain, nothing I do can get it to accept the file. I take this entire /office folder contents and copy them to /office on the hard drive of XP. All the files are indeed there, no problem at all. I run setup and it goes a little while and then comes up with the missing file thing, this one being /powerpoint.en-us/pptlr.cab. So using the /extract command line switch, I put everything on a USB drive in the /office subfolder off the root. Using Winzip or whatever, while looking correct, doesn't work, you get a totally different error, You have to so this with the command line of the exe. The correct language installed (huh?) Google search revealed that the exe has to have the files extracted. Launching this file resulted in a lot of action followed by an error message about something with not having I am trying to install the academic version of Office 2010 on XP sp3.
