Office 2000 updates/can't search my machine

[ndnjones]

Not that I care for Microsoft to search my machine, but--
I keep getting this:

"Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) from
previously applied Office updates are missing from the
\Windows\Installer hidden directory on your computer. MSP
files are stored on your computer after update
installation completes because they need to be referenced
for future update operations. If the files are missing
you will not be able to apply Office updates. You may
also be unable to uninstall Office products as a result
of the same problem."

So, I don't know which files are missing, AND I may not
be able to uninstall Office in order to reinstall it from
disk. However, if I get no response on this query, that
is what I will attempt to do.

thank ya kindly!

Later posts on this NG happen to be addressing an issue
very close to yours. Check about 6-7 messages up... No
answer that I can see yet.

Hoib.
