I am trying to help out a friend who was given a Compaq computer that is
rrunning 98 SE. After Windows starts the Windows installer runs, wanting to
install Word 2000 Pro- he has no such disc. I would like to stop Windows
Installer from running.
Here's a bit more info-
1. He is able to use his Word program.
2. In the install/uninstall tool in the control panel it lists that Word
2000 pro is present, as is Works and Office 2000 SR-1 and 2. None of these
programs will uninstall via the control panel.
3. In the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Micosoft/Office is present and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Micosoft/Works is present, however there is no reference to
Word 2000 Pro
4. On drive C:\Program Files, Word 2000 Pro does not exist, but Works and
Office are present.
So far, I've looked around for the .msi for Word 2000, (program the
installer requests), but cannot find it, I suspect that it came with the
Works package, which he also doesn't have cds for. I have found the .msi in
the Works folder. I haven't looked in the temp or windows\temp yet to see if
there is some vestige still looking to install.
Any help would be appreciated.
