HI y"all i am trying to install SP1 of Ms office but i am finding difficulty. i keep getting a message saying that it has not found the software on my Pc then .. asks if i want to install then i click yes and "RUn" ....but after that nothing happens .. the disk runs for about ten seconds then does nothing after that. even after one hour i see no more messages just silence help :knock:
Is your software legit and registered? M$ have peculiar ways to prevent updates in certain cases. If you don't specifically need this SP1, leave it for the moment. Maybe someone else ?
Ms Office yes it is legit ..... i bought it from my university computer store UT Arlington Texas ...... it was a student version / offer
This is what M$ says: Installation instructions To install this update, do one of the following: * Use Office Update on the Office Online Web site (recommended). Office Update automatically detects Office and prompts you to install updates and service packs that bring Office programs up-to-date. * Install only Office 2003 SP1. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Download one of the two .exe files by using the links at the bottom of the page, and then save the file to your hard disk drive. o Office2003SP1-kb842532-client-enu.exe: You should download this file if you have access to your original product CD-ROM. You might need to provide the installation source during patch installation if you have previously updated your product. o Office2003SP1-kb842532-fullfile-enu.exe: Download this file if you do not have access to your original product CD-ROM or if you have experienced problems installing the Office2003SP1-kb842532-client-enu.exe file. 2. It is recommended that you quit any programs you are running. 3. In Windows Explorer, double-click the .exe file that you saved to your hard disk drive, and follow the instructions on the screen. Did you get the small web-update that needs to go online, or the full install?
