Dear Chris,
Thanks for posting in the partner newsgroups.
According to your description, my understanding of this issue is: When you
install Office 2003 at SP1 or SP2 level, you encountered error message
"Setup cannot register type library for the file
c:\windows\system32\ven2232.olb". You have installed Windows XP on 3
different machines with or without Windows updates. You looked up the
question in Technet, and only got one Knowledge Based (KB) article 299608,
you tried to install Visual Basic 6.0 SP5: Run-Time Redistribution Pack
(VBRUN60sp5.exe).
If I have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to let me know.
Based on my research, this behavior may occur due to a variety of factors.
To narrow down the issue, I suggest you perform the following steps:
Step 1 Install Windows SP2
=====================
As far as I know, Microsoft will not support Windows XP SP1 two months
later. I suggest you install Windows SP2. Please download Windows SP2 form
the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-
8245-9e368d3cdb5a&DisplayLang=en
Step 2 Rename ven2232.olb and install Office
=====================
1. Rename the ven2232.olb file in the location:
c:\windows\system32\ven2232.olb.
2. Try to install Office, does the issue recur?
If this step fails, please go to the next step.
Step 3 Install Office in safe mode
=====================
Let's check if the same issue also occurs in Safe Mode, which loads a
minimal protected-mode configuration, disabling Windows device drivers and
using the standard VGA display adapter.
1. Restart your computer, and before boot into Windows, press F8.
2. When the "Windows 2000/XP Advanced Options" menu appears, select "Safe
Mode", and then press ENTER.
3. Install Office 2003 in safe mode.
If the suggestions do not help, please help us collect some informations
for further research:
1. Please download and run the MPS Report tool from the following link. It
is utilized to gather detailed information regarding a system's current
configuration. The data collected will assist me with problem isolation. To
do this, please follow the steps below:
a. Download the MPS Report Tool from the following link:
<
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd
915706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE>
NOTE: Be sure to include all text between '<' and '>' when navigating to
this MPS Report download location.
b. After the download is complete, double-click this "MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.exe"
file. Then a CAB file will be generated called
%COMPUTERNAME%_MPSReports.CAB. For example, if your computer name is
"MyComputer", this CAB file will be named "MyComputer _MPSReports.CAB".
c. Click Start -> Run -> Input "%Systemroot%\MPSReports\Setup\Reports\CAB".
You can find the CAB file above and please send it to me as an attachment
at <
[email protected]>.
2. Please collect Office setup logs for me to do troubleshooting. To
collect Office setup logs, please do as follows:
a. Click Start->Run, enter %temp%, click OK.
b. In the temp folder, copy all the file named Microsoft Office 2003
Setup***.txt to a folder, and compress the folder, send the folder to me.
Please try the suggestions and update me with the result at your earliest
convenience. We look forward to your reply.
Regards,
Alice Zhu
