.msp files missing

[MICHAEL]

I am unable to update my office 2000 professional program
do to the following reason:
Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) from
previously applied Office updates are missing from the
\Windows\Installer hidden directory on your computer. MSP
files are stored on your computer after update
installation completes because they need to be referenced
for future update operations. If the files are missing
you will not be able to apply Office updates. You may
also be unable to uninstall Office products as a result
of the same problem. Please contact Microsoft Product
Support for assistance.

How can this be fixed?

Hi.

I think a solution should lie here:

Sounds like you really need to re-install office XP as
the installation is totally screwed up.
Obtain Windows Cleanup Wizard from Microsoft download
site and use it to remove office XP and all registry
entries. Then reboot and re-install Office.
