Error when installing Office Pro 2003

Thanks guys.

I copied the msvcrt.dll from my Win2k installation CD -- which was an older
version than what I had been running -- and I get the same error. Maybe I
need a version newer than 6.1.9844.0 to install Office 2003?

I'm confused as to what the problem is. Was the setup.exe on the Office
installation CD compiled with a different version of the library? If so, how
can I find out which version I need?

Thanks,
John

I found some information through a Google groups search that led to me fixing
this problem. I'll post it here in case anyone else has a similar problem.

Eons ago I installed/copied a program from the Win2k installation disk
called "apcompat.exe" -- the Application Compatibility Tool -- which is used
to run non-Win2k applications (like Win95 apps, DOS games, etc.) on Win2k.
Apparently installing this causes some kind of problem.

So I ran the Office 2003 setup executable through the apcompat.exe tool as a
Win2k application, and it ran with no problems. Office 2003 installed fine.

Then I ran the Windows System File Checker (sfc /scannow) and that copied
files from my original Win2k installation CD to my hard disk. Afterwards I
re-ran the Windows Update to get the latest updates and patches for Win2k. A
reboot later, and now I can run the Office 2003 install perfectly fine.
