=20 Suki, While I don't have a magic answer to your problem, I'm curious as to your comment about the lack of a 'setup.exe' file... On my retail version of Office XP Pro, setup.exe resides in the root folder of the first CD. Perhaps double check that the root folder on your CD is the same?

I have been trying to install Office XP Professional on my comp but just can't=20 get passed the system file updates stage. According to the=20 www.microsoft.com/ork website, setup.exe now installs system file update files including IE5 before it proceeds to install office XP. This is where I got stuck, halfway through "configuring system file updates",=20 it tells me "Error 25202, Cannot install portions of the required System Files=20 Update: IE5. You can try installing Internet Explorer by running=20 IE5Setup.exe from the IE5 folder located on your CD, or contact..." All i can=20 do is press OK and nothing has been done. I need to tell the installer not to=20 install IE5 and proceeds with the rest, but how? My queries: 1) I have IE6, isn't that good enough? >;) 2) the ork website above mentions that i can do a command-line=20 like "setup.exe NOIE=3Dtrue" to bypass the installation of IE, but it doesn't=20 seem to work, the same error appears. =20 3) did i miss some other parameter in the command line? the ork website doesn't provide an example that uses NOIE=3DTRUE as an example - "setup.exe NOIE=3Dtrue" is only my guess, although it mentions = everywhere that we can use this property and value for its said purpose. 4) I do not have setup.exe in the CD, instead, i have setuppls.exe,=20 setuppro,exe, setupstd.exe, setupppt.exe, and all other individual=20 componenets etc... will these work the same as setup.exe? Please help, I am almost giving up on this...=20 May I wish everyone a merry xmas and a happy new year. regards sukii ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- This e-mail has been sent via JARING webmail at http://www.jaring.my ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to=20 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=3Dunsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
