Looking for mainsp3.msp

[b_witching2002]

I had Office 2003, tried to install Office 2007 over top. This wouldn'
work, so I uninstalled Office 2007, then uninstalled 2003. Office 200
would not install after that. On blog found online, recommended usin
"Windows Install Cleanup" then go into the regedit to remove al
remaining office files.
I was then able to install Office 2007. Everything works fine, but no
I'm getting "Windows Installer" and then "can't find folder containin
mainsp3.msp". I realize that it's looking for the file from Offic
2003 SP3, but I'm sure that this was deleted with Office 2003.
Recommendations??? Help??

I had the same problem some days ago, I tried to do lot of things.
In my case i tried to install Office 2007 over 2003 but something failed
during the installation, the fact is that the two version were overlapped,
office 2003 asked for mainsp3.msp.
I downloaded an update with mainsp... inside, I pointed Insallation to it
....then it asked for anoter file!!!!!!!! Damn! frustrating!

But I found the solution! I used Revo Uninstaller, an exellent program to
wipe out programs. It erased all Office 2003 files! Then I uninstalled 2007
also.

Now, With the system complete clean of office...
I reinstalled 2007 and Voila!

Everything is normal!
