Windows Installer - This patch package could not be opened.
When running Setup, this message This patch package could not be opened.
Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package ... and ... When attempting to open Word, this message comes up This application must be installed to run. Please run setup from the location where you originally installed the application. Office 2000 was downloaded to my computer a year ago and I had to reinstall it for some reason about a month ago. The messages keep coming up when trying to reinstall. Can anyone help in getting around this issue? |
