After many system problems, I recently reinstalled Windows 98SE and created a
new registry. Of course, this has meant reinstalling the applications to
create the appropriate registry entries, even though the program files are
still on the hard drive.
Except for FP2002, which won't reinstall. I'd purchased the upgrade from
FP98 (and since pitched the FP98 disk). The FP2002 disk starts Windows
Installer, then halts with the message, "This patch package could not be
opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or
contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows
Installer patch package."
But when trying to start the existing installation of FP2002 directly from
frontpg.exe, it halts with the message "A required DLL file, fpcutl.dll, was
not found." The file actually DOES exist -- in the Office10 subdirectory --
but obviously the necessary registry entries are gone.
Suggestions on how to proceed? TIA!
