i upgraded from98 to XPpro then converted the file system
to ntfs and everything worked fine except outlook 2002
(2000w/service pack.) i tried several things, but to
make a long story short i dl'ed the "windows install
cleanup" in order to reinstall 2000 on top of the ntfs
file system. i was basically missing the omint.dll file
that outlook needs, but i couldn't extract it
individually or rename the omi9.dll file and get it to
work. now when i try to reinstall office pro it hangs
when it tries to access the office1.cab file, everytime.
i can open this file with no problems when when i browse
the cd. worse, i can't uninstall office because the WIC
only removes data pertinant to allowing an
application "think" its the first time its getting
installed. and, of course, the entries that allow the
existing application to run at all! hehe, now i'm stuck
with a good cab file that won't open, a mess of data in
an application that i can't loose and no way to reinstall
the application on top of itself.
i'm not quite ready to manually remove all the office
entries in the registry, but i will if i can save my data.
the whole reason i didn't do a clean XP install was to
convert my date to the ntfs file system,save it then
insert it into a clean XP environment.
