Publisher2000 installed on Windows XP - launch from CD?

[Steve78]

My Publisher application continues to prompt me to put in the disc 2 of
Office 2000 installation to run. I assume it wants to run from the CD. I
previously had Office2000 and Publisher installed running on WindowsME. I
recently upgraded to WindowsXP home edition. I re-installed MS Office and
then the disc2 for Publisher. Every time I launch Publisher from start
program, or directly with MSPUB.exe it is looking for the CD. I have tried
'add-remove programs' to change the settings to run all from PC but after
that reinstall process it still is looking to run Publisher from CD. I
cannot run/launch Publisher without inserting the Office2000 disc2 CD.

Would appreciate any insight on steps to reconfigure/reinstall MS Publisher
2000 with WindowsXP to run/launch without insterting CD.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I reviewed the documents and determined I have SR-1a already. I
used Cleanup util to remove disc2 installation. Also determined I had some
leftover install files on my large D-drive, removed all those, then confirmed
that my disc1 of MS Office was originally installed on smaller drive-C.
I tried following 'customized' directions but with no success. After
installation, and restarting without CD in drive, I still get prompted to
insert CD.
After I launch MS Publisher from program menu here is what I see:
"Preparing to install...", then new window of "Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1
Disc 2. The feature that you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other
removable disk that is not available."
"Insert the Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Disc 2 disk and click OK"
Use Source: "Microsoft Office SR-1 Disk 2"

also noted: when I browse it indicates it is looking for "DATA2.
MSI"....installation package file type "*.msi".

After I 'cancel' in this window I get the error message "Error 1706. No
valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office SR-1 Disc 2. The
Windows Installer cannot continue.

also noted: my MS Office has SP3.

More insight/tips are appreciated.

Thanks,

My previous post-reply (1:01pm PST) indicated I already applied SP3 and
validated I had SR-1a, before re-installing Publisher2000 (MSOffice disc2).
fyi - I installed all features on this disk (350+MB).

Are you suggesting that I re-run these SP updates, etc?

Had a similar problem. Previously had Office 2000 Premium Edition which
includes Publisher 2000, fully updated to SP-3. Last year installed Office
2003 Professional Edition which includes Publisher 2003. Having regard to
advice here I kept Pub2000 at the installation time but allowed all other
programs to be deleted.

When I tried to run Pub2000 had to go through two cycles of Insert disc 2
and Error 1706, you describe, before getting into the program.

Decided to do a detect and repair and all is well. I was worried I may lose
the patches but is still reporting SP-3. Whatever file was missing would
appear to have been reinstated.
