Undocumented Fix for Errors When Installing Office 2000 in Windows XP
~~ Shelley Turk
I have found an undocumented fix to solve the
MSOffice 2000 (on XP) install problem. I wanted to share this with you, in
case someone else has the same problem.
I had searched Google, and also the Microsoft knowledge base, to
fix the install error 2755 and tried all their suggestions for the problem.
NOTHING WORKED! I spent days researching it. I even contacted MS
product support, but unless I paid, they were not prepared to give me any
assistance as they no longer support Office 2000 install problems. I was
frustrated until I found the solution. It was so simple, I could kick
myself!
Office 2000 setup is very slow and if it eventually issues error 2336 or
2755, right click 'My Computer', click 'Manage', double click 'Services',
look down the list for "Windows Installer", right click and choose "start"
then run the install. <<<back to contents |
