Updating Office XP Pro. [Archive] - ForumsHQ

[The Emperor]

Hi - I've installed (cough) office xp pro and have downloaded the service packs 1 and 2. However, when I try to run them, they get part way through and then stop with an error message saying they can't locate c:config.msi/Pt1.tmp or something very similar - retrying doesn't work and so I'm unable to install the service packs.



Can someone please tell me if there is a way around this and how I can get them installed.



All help and constructive comments are much appreciated.



Many thanks



The Emperor

Is it legit?



If you it's not and you are using a widely published serial #, it could be Microsoft's way of saying "nyah nyah."



Thats what they did with Windows XP

windows XP stinks, its 2000 but with Bells and Whistles and made to look like a Mac. Stick with windows 2k!

yeah but with windows xp you can change your serial # to an acceptable one and download sp1. but with office xp there is no way to do that. i say screw it, there are no major problems with office xp. i had the same thing happen to me though awhile ago, and i just said screw it

i could get the version which doesnt require any authorisation and will work 100%, but i dunno if i should do that one, its a school copy
