Hi David,
The article describes possible error conditions that
may interfere with recognizing the qualifying product.
It can come from one of the listed items being listed
in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel
or a damaged installation of one of the qualifying
products.
If you're using original Microsoft CDs for the
qualifying product check (with no prior versions installed)
be sure that you have all other software/utilities/antivirus
shutdown when doing the installation and that the language
settings for the products are the same.
=====
Thanks for the reply, but I had already read the article. None are the
causes are true in my case and the resolution is nothing more a very very
long description of putting in a CD. That much I already knew.
What I really need is information on what the installer is looking for,
because I have provided what I believe (and Microsofts documentation states)
should be necessary and installer still generates the 1608 error.
Does anyone in Microsoft have any clue what generates a 1608 error besides
"Setup could not locate a version...". I already know Setup could not locate
a version.., but a version was provided, so we need to get a more detailed
explanation as to what causes this problem.
Any help that can be provided would be appreciated. >>
