Install wants patch package

M

Mark A. Sam

Hello,

I can't run any of my Office 2002 programs. When I log onto my computer or
when I try to open an Office program, and Outlook 2002, the Install program
comes up. When I try to run Setup I get this message:

This patch package could not be opened. Verify that this 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.


My computer is a Dell and my my Office 2002 version is from Dell.

Thank you for any help.

I started today. I can't uninstall Office (get the same message) and I am
having trouble with Outlook. The inbox repair tool won't fix the problem.
I don't know it these are related. A tech tried to do a recovery yesterday
then reversed it when Outlook bombed out and the inbox repair tool didn 't
work for him.

I can't use word or access 2002, but I can bring up Access 2003 a stand
alone program.

Whenever I open Microsoft programs, even IE, the install screen comes up and
read my Office CD then closes.

Whenever I log on I get a message that a file that the registry needs has a
problem, and that recovery was successful. It is difficult to remember all
of the messages becuase I can't just copy and paste them into an editor.

God Bless,

Mark
