Trial Version Office 2003 Standard Error

[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

No, I am trying to pull exact details which you are reluctant to provide. I
am presuming this is the Trial version of Office from Microsoft Office
Downloads (why should I have to pull this information from you?????)

"Everyone" else is NOT having this problem as I can download the trial
version readily using my Internet connection. Are you using a download
manager? Don't. Is your AV active? Disable it while downloading. Do you
have a Firewall configured? Again, disable it while downloading.

| I think you are reading more into it than necessary
|
| What I want:
|
| To install Ofc 2003 (from download provided at MS)
|
| Problem:
|
| 45 sec into installation a popup appears saying fatal error occurred.
|
| I have tried to re-download the setup, rebooted, etc. Still get the
| error. Cannot complete setup or use Ofc 2003
|
| The consensus:
|
| Everyone else has this issue
|
| The question:
|
| Is there a fix or a workaround?

I've got the same somewhat like problem. It downloaded ok and it seemed to
extract ok when executing office.exe but then Windows Installer pops up and
tells me "This patch package could not be opened. Verfiy that the patch
package exists....etc".
