Well, I was trying to upgrade a system that has been in production for
awhile. The user was running out of disk space. I'm just going to have to
get the user a new computer when the economy picks up a bit more and we sell
more carpet. J

If you really want to move the default system locations, you have to do it
*before* you install too much stuff.  Especially stuff like office.

 

I stopped doing all that relocation in the NT4 timeframe.  Get the right
size disk and move on to more meaningful activities...

In case anyone on this list gets a bright idea like I did, DON'T! J I ended
up having to uninstall Office, reinstall the old version and then re-upgrade
that version in order to fix the above error message. I've been working on
it since about 8:30 this morning and FINALLY got all the upgrades/updates
done. I also had to update his Windows XP from SP2 to SP3, so that was about
90 minutes of the work I did today. J

I've got a user who started getting the above error message today. Friday I
installed a second HDD in his computer, and moved his profile to that
location. Today, he's getting that error. I tried editing the registry to
tell Windows to use his original profile, but it didn't help. L

 

User *is* an admin, for what it's worth. I've tried removing the c:\program
files\common files\office 12\mso.dll file, but that didn't help. I've tried
repairing the install and that did not help.

 

The only thing I can see is that the user is still on XP SP2, so I'm going
to install some critical updates and then install SP3 and try a fresh
install of Office 2007 and see if that helps. L

 

Any other ideas???
