Windows installer error

[Gary Lee Pyles]

I was trying to use spell check on some foreign words and
office said that the option was not loaded for Spanish. Do
I want to load it now. I said yes. It then said that there
was a Windows installer error 1601 and could not finish
loading. ??????? Help? What does that mean?
