and when I did, the required file was not on there. What should I do?
Sorin Leucuta said:SP 3 for Office exists.
Proplus.MSI shoud be on the MIcrosoft Office XP (2002) CD.
Someone tricked this by renaming a specific xxxx.dll file to proplus.msi
but
i don't remember which .dll.
I would be interested to find out how can you skip this error without
haveing the proplus.msi.

If anyone except for the corporation that you work for provided this
version, it is pirated.

nick b said:yes most people do probly have a pirated version (known or unknown), but i do
have the Enterprise version with the dics that i got while i was in the
military (the orig disc not copies) and have the same problems. i just
reinstalled xp and just now have the problems. sp3 worked b4 but not now. i
just hope that there is nothing that i really need from that update, like
holidays for 06 and beyond that i don't have now. and microsoft techs can't
figure out what is the problem. to show them i have the discs i used my
webcam to show the box and everything. oh well.
