installing OfficeXP SP2 needs 'PROPLU.MSI'
My Computer Info: Toshiba laptop, satellite 1905-277, Pentium 4 CPU 1.60 GHz
256 MB of RAM OS: Windows XP Home Edition with SP1 MS Office: Office 2002 (Is it different from Office XP?) I downloaded Office XP SP2 from Microsoft site. when I tried to install it the following error message appears: Windows box title: Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an attachment path to a folder containing the installation package 'PROPLU.MSI' in the box below. Use feature from: I read related MS knowledgebase: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 268800 FIX: Windows Installer Must Have Original Source Files When You Apply a Patch It talkes about Windows Installer but apparantly it is for Windows NT and 2000 and it doesn't mention about Win XP. My question: 1- How can I solve this error message? 2- Is there any XP equvalent of Windows Installer? Your comments are highly appreciated. TIA Rasoul |

installing OfficeXP SP2 needs 'PROPLU.MSI'
Hi,
In the cases that I have worked, this had to do with Office being opened or run for the first time on a profile that didn't have the initial install activated or installed previously from there. In other words, there was this setting missing in the registry: UserData"=dword:00000001 See if the edit on line 171 (right hand side helps): http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- All the Best, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows® XP 2004 Windows MVP "Winny" Award Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Rasoul Khoshravan Azar" wrote in message ...

installing OfficeXP SP2 needs 'PROPLU.MSI'
Dear Kelly and Gordon
Thanks for your comments. I found the PROPLUS.MSI file in the installation CD and provided it but another message box appeared saying: Title of Windows: Office XP Service Pack 2 The expected version of the product was not found on your system. The version of Office I have, reads XP in the window appearing on the startup of software's (like Excel, Word) but when I check the Help|About Microsoft Excel, it says Excel 2002. Are these two (XP and 2002) exactly same? What are the difference? Still I haven't succeeded to install SP2 for my Office XP. with this message I think this SP doesn't fit my Office.
