I see over and over again on this list that the only
messages that no one answers have to do with the fact that
NO-ONE can apply Service Pack 1 (and of course, Service
Pack 2 or later) to Office XP. I was able to apply the
Service Packs, at one time, and it finally hit me at 3
a.m. when and why I was able to do so. I first got my
copy of Office XP Pro w/Front Page and Service packs on CD
in Jan. 2003. I installed and was able to apply the
Service Packs at that time. THEN along came Windows
Installer 2.0 upgrade that neatly, and ir-reversibly,
modifies Windows install routines. Suddenly, Office XP SR-
1 suffers an error 1328 each and every time! I even went
so far as to buy a completely new hard drive and try the
install (to prove there had been no previous attempt to
upgrade MS Access), and still got the error!
