Error 1304

[Ute Fan]

I have been using my XP Small Business 2002 Edition for several years. One
day I tried to open Excel and the Windows Installer started up. I put the CD
in as instructed and asked the program to reinstall/fix errors. After the
reinstall started I got the following error message: Error 1304 writing to
file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared|Office 10\MSO7FTP.exe
verify that you have access to that directory. I tried the retry and got the
same error. The same thing happens with Word. I tried uninstall and
reinstall and got the same thing. What gives? Did Microsoft push down an
update that went bad? How can I fix this?

Did you try to replace this file from your 2002 setup disk?
