Problem with Word Set Up

J

John Johnson

I recently cloned by drives to larger ones.

Most things seem to work okay

But when I click on my Word2003 icon I get the message
Preparing to Install

Then This program in no longer fuctioning
Run set up and Repair.

But then Word opens

So I went to set up and it says this patch cannot be found and doesnt
do anything

It won't let me install

Found my solution

After running Microsoft Installer cleanup utility which didnt help
found this

Error: 1635 This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the
patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the
application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer
patch package. Solution: Registry key is corrupt. Please delete the
key 9040110900063D11C8EF00054038389C under the following location.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\ After
deleting, restart the computer and rerun the Office XP setup. This
should run without any problems.

Then I could reinstall Word.
