Stalled Upgrade

J

Jim H.

At first, I put this post in the general discussion area but got no response.
Perhaps due to not posting to the correct place. . . . Here goes again . . .

I have just done a clean load (format new SATA HDD) of XP Pro (SP2c) on a P4
machine.

Next, after downloading all the updates from Microsoft, I loaded my trusty
old Office 97 with no problems and then attempted to load my Outlook 98
upgrade. (I am really, really poor, you know: really!)

Anyway, immediately, after accepting the license agreement (even before I
would get to where I enter the license key), I get the following error
message window "Outlook 98 Active Setup" with the following message "Setup
was unable to download all the required components for this installation. The
Internet is likely busy. Please try Setup again later and try Smart Recovery
to continue downloading."

Now, I didn't know Outlook 98 required Internet connectivity while doing the
upgrade. I can find no information in this forum or via google to address
this error message.

Anyone who knows how to get around this, please respond.

Thanks,
