cannot install Office 2001 Combo update 9,0,4

[G Kierans]

When I try to launch it on my G4, the Classic Environment is
automatically launched.
Then I get the following message:
"The default location for this install cannot be found.This install
will be cancelled."
I have no trouble with other installs.

Hi

It sounds like you may have put your Office 2001 installation in a place
other than the default location and the updater can't find it. Is that
possible?

As far as I know everything's in right place. All
other software installs work. I dont' move apps out of App folder.
Where should it be?
Also, why does it keep launching Classic?

Should probably be in your hard drive's

Applications (Mac OS 9)

folder.

Also, why does it keep launching Classic?

Because Office 2001 is not OSX native - it only runs in Classic
mode. To run Office natively in OSX you'll need to upgrade to Office
v.X.
