Unable to install Office 2003; FP 2003 or any 2003 viewer other than PowerPoint 2003 Viewer

Maybe he has the Beta of SP1 still on his system.

That's possible. Probable in fact as this portable was being used for my own
testing purposes before demos to customers came into the picture.

(and of course it's not there any more).

Bob: I (now) installed the 3.1 installer and later the (real) SP1.

I am now on re-boot getting three "Windows Installer failed ..." messages.

However that seems to be irrelevant at least to the original problem as the
Word Viewer has now (after SP1) installed OK which it didn't before.

Thanks to both of you.

Windows 2003 SP1 RTM already has the installer 3.1 update in the SP1
package. The SP1 Beta does not. Maybe he has the Beta of SP1 still on his
system.

It didn't work the first time after running the Clean Up Utility but it did
one the second time (after).

and also microsoftupdate now works fine.

Let's call it a glitch (and a testament to try, try, again)
