Why does office 97 install fail because of htmlmarq.ocx on win xp

[David R. Norton MVP]

Is this also why I can't reinstall from my Office 97 Professional
CD after downloading the trial version of Office 2003?

I'm not sure what Office 2003 has to do with anything but since you're
installing an older version of Office you should remove it before
trying to install Office 97. If you have Windows XP with SP2, Office
97 will probably give you the errors described above.

One fix is to remove SP2 if you added it to XP, then install Office 97,
then install ALL the Office 97 SRs and ALL other updates and then re-
install SP2. Of course, if your copy of XP came with SP2 you won't be
able to uninstall it.

Let me know if this is the answer to your question, please.

MS Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) disabled the
HTMLMarq.ocx (active x control) for security reasons.

If you're not going to use the web page features you
can do a custom install and choose to not install the
Web Authoring tools or use the following technique
(not a MS supported one)

to modify both .ocx files whose names start with HTMLm
in this registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options

from .ocx to .old

========
I recently upgraded from Windows 98se to ms win xp home with the sr-2 and am
trying to install my office 97 professional but keep getting this error and
can find nothing in the KB and or in any of the office 97 faqs and info files
on the site its a registry error and the setup completely fails. I would
appreciate any help on this thanks alot JMB>>
