Prompt for Office 2000 CD when launching Publisher

L

Lenox

I have Office 2000 Pro SR-1 and recently tried the Office 2003 Trial version.
I decided I liked Outlook 2003 an bought it and reinstalled Office 2000
minus Outlook. Now whenever I launch Publisher 2000 Windows Installer starts
and returns the error "The feature you are trying to use...." "Please insert
the 'Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Disc 2' disc to continue."

Inserting the disc causes Publisher to start. Canceling eventually leads to
error 1607 "...no valid source could be found..."

Any help is appreciated.

First off - you did not need to uninstall Outlook 2000 to install Outlook
2003 - it would've taken care of uninstalling it during the upgrade
procedure, and would have retained all your settings. I suspect that is why
you are having this problem.

That said - I'd try running a repair installation of Office 2000. Then try
reinstalling/repairing Outlook 2003. Just a guess/suggestion.

Back up your data (including your PST file(s) ) first.

I tried repair and full reinstall. Neither worked. Something is amiss in
the registry I think. I did find a workaround. By copying DATA2.MSI from
Office 2000 CD-2 to the directory where PUB.EXE is located the program starts
without the prompts.

Does this give any clue to what the root of the problem is?
