During the installation of Office 2003 Student/Teacher
edition on an fully patched XP box, I made a custom
install, which removed Office 97 modules. The install
seemed to go okay. I was connected to the internet to
enable activation and registration on-line during the
install, but after the files were installed succesfully,
a MS window opened to their Office website. I ran the
update for two modules detected (est. 6 minutes) and the
End-User License acceptance window opened - checked it,
and there is no "continue" button as is practice on most
software. It just hangs there. Internet connection was
OK and Task Manager said the Update was "running" but
nothing happened. Closed the License window ( my only
option ) and still nothing. Tried this 3 times waiting
up to 15 minutes with the license acceptance checked, and
the program did not proceed. I disconnected and the
installation windows were all closed as the program
apparently finished. I was not prompted for activation
or registration as it implies in the little install
pamphlet so I did the activation and registration
manually via the Help menu and was successful with both.
Then I went back to Word's Help - Update and again, no
continue button, no update. This was the first of two
machines I intended to install on ( license is for 3 )
and it came right out of a shrink-wrapped box. Is this
another MS defect?
