A LONG story - Question is: which registry key should I edit?
I have a problem I cannot solve myself.
After REPAIR of my WinXP Home SP1, I had problems with Office 2003 SP2. It was related to Windows Installer. It losted info about Office installation and it was not possible to repair it from original CD. A. I was told I had to cleanup by an MS utility the WinInstall registry entry and reinstall Office 2003 and reapply it. I did, it worked. However, when I tried to apply all the updates it did not work. The reason was that I also had a very small component of Office 2000 Premium: the Art Gallery. B. So I applied Office 2003 SP2 manually. It worked. Then I had to fix the Office 2000 problem too. So I cleaned up also that installation, but when I reinstalled Office 2000, it installed the whole package, not only ArtGallery. I had to expect that, but I realized only when happened. C. So now I had both Office 2000 and Office 2003. I did a mistake. I opened Word 2000. It automatically did some repair. D. I disinstalled the whole Office 2000 package BUT the ArtGallery. It worked. Now I had Office 2003 SP2 + ArtGallery. When I launched Excel and the other applications, each one repaired itself. However when I launched Word 2003 it said that there was something wrong and that it needed to be repaired. I tried, but it said that it could not find the origin of data. Again the classic WinInstaller problem! Word 2003 works fine, but: 1. it gives that error each time is launched 2. I still cannot update from MS site QUESTION: is there a specific REGISTRY KEY I can edit manually to fix this problem without cleaning up and reinstall Office 2003 again and all upgrades?
