Access installs itself each time I run it.

[Dennis]

Hi,

I have installed Office XP Pro on machine running XP Pro with SP3.

Office Xp Pro was installed, but each time I run Word, Excel, etc, it would
start with the "Configuring Offfice for Installation" window with the
progress bar. So I uninstalled XP Office. I then reinstalled XP Office Pro.
I selected custom install, selected "Run from my computer" on all
applications.

Everything was installed properly excess Access. I can click on Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Publisher and the all startup fine. However,
when I click on Access, once again I receive the installation windows "Now
configuring Access for installation" and the progress bar. Then the progress
bar window goes away and nothing more happens.

I've read through this forum, but did not see a resolution to this problem.

I did re-install Access using the Customize option and did choose "Run all
from my computer'. That did not work.

I saw another answer which suggest I install the latest cd drive, but this
does not make sense since all of the other software installed ok. I also
used two different office CDs (one was NOT a copy of the other).

I know that I have the latest service pack on my machine. I ran BelArc
advisor, which searches for all of the MS Updates. It told me that I've
installed all of the updates.

I've used these CDs to install the software on my other machines. So I know
the CD is good.

Dennis,

It's not the CD, this has been going on for years... and yes, it happens
with Access.
