When attempting to check for updates for office XP I get this
message
1. I have administrative privlidges
2. no net work problems
3. the rest if of no help
Error! Unable to check for updates on this computer Help
The Office Update site is unable to check for updates on this
computer. This may be happening because of one of the following reasons:
a.. You do not have administrative privileges for this computer.
b.. There is a network problem and the detection catalog used by the
Office Update site failed to download. Go back to the Downloads home page
and try running detection again.
c.. 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.
d.. You installed Office updates in the past and then upgraded from
Windows Installer version 1.0 to Windows Installer version 1.1. For more
information see the KB article Windows Installer May Prompt for Install
Source if Unavailable.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem. MS is of no use.
