Hi,
[Copied from microsoft.public.office.setup, since this appears to be a more
appropriate news group.]
I've just re-installed Office XP on my Windows 98 SE machine. Now I want the
latest updates from office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/ and so I press the
"Check for updates" button, but the progress bar stops at 40%, and then a
new page is shown: "The Office Update Catalog cannot be displayed".
While the status bar was progressing, the browser (IE6) reported an error in
line 699 of
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/mainCatalog.aspx?CTT=98. Something
about the automation-server cannot create the object. [Sorry, but the error
message was in Danish].
This error is reproducible, and I don't know any workaround. I've installed
all the available Windows 98 updates. I even tried to reinstall Windows 98
SE from scratch again, and the same problem remains.
This has always worked previously using the same machine. The only new thing
is that I recently reinstalled Windows 98 SE from scratch (incl. formatting
my
harddrive).
It's possible to browse the available downloads, but I have difficulty
determining, which downloads are applicable and/or necessary to my system.
I like the Office Update, because it is automated and easy to use.
I hope someone has some good advise. Thanks in advance.
-Michael.
