I, 2, am having trouble upgrading from FP 2000 to 2003. I get about halfway
(guess!) through the installation and get a "Failure: File Not Found" message
while the Install is "Copying: GDIPLUS.DLL".
I've backed out and restarted more than a half dozen times over two days,
and it always fails at the same point. Different specific filenames show up,
but the most frequent is "supposed" to be in the directory C:\MSOCACHE\ALL
USERS . . . etc.. The specific file name is 01561403.cab. I haven't been
able to locate that file (or another two it's sometimes looking for:
YA561403.cab, and YB561408.cab) on any drive nor CD.
I cannot get any email install assist from MicroSoft (even though I am a
Windows fan!) because without the the product ID (which must be installed
before it's visible!)
I'm running an old, slow machine, PII, 266MHz, XP (just loaded SP-2). Have
NOT had MS Office onboard until yesterday. I installed it because I thought
the files FP2003 Install was looking for were a part of Office. Otherwise, I
really don't want Office on this machine.
I'm so frustrated!! Can anyone help me, or open a door into MS installation
support -- if it exists anymore?? Please, I need to get back to working
instead of fiddling with something which should be clean and painless.
Thanx, all . . .
