Hi CJ,
If you have WinXP then the download utility will not work for you.
However you can use the updated MSIZap version 2.0 but it has no UI
and you need to use a Command Prompt for it.
You can find it on the Windows XP CD at:
D:\SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPPORT.CAB
If you don't have the CD then you can obtain the Windows Installer 2.0
SDK from (although it is a BIG download for a small file):
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
You also need the GUID for Office. This can be found in the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Select each GUID until you find your version of Office in the Display
Name on the right. (Once found you can right-click the GUID and select
Rename to Copy it)
Then use a Command Prompt and navigate to the folder for MSIZap. If
you use MSIZap from the download the command would be similar to:
cd \Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin
The MSIZap command would look something like:
MSIZAP T {1080B04F-11E8-494E-9603-41168D4PF198}
To paste the GUID you previously copied click the system menu icon
(upper left corner) and you'll find Paste under the Edit menu.
Note that the product key used above is not for Office and is used
only as an example.
