One of the CDs should be labeled Windows Component Update. You have to insert that CD and run the setup. It'll check to make sure you have the correct DLL versions and update any that need it. If you've got a DVD...you'll have to look at the files to find the folder for Windows Component Update. In that folder...or on the CD, whichever you have, there will be a Setup.exe to run the Win Component Update process. Dian D.

I am trying to install Microsoft Office XP Developer. It runs through a quick check for compatibility, and gives me this message: Windows Component Update Setup has detected that some of the Windows components that are installed on your computer do not match the version required for Office XP Developer. You must install a different version of these Windows Components. Okayyy, I currently have Microsoft Office 2000 installed on the machine. I was advised +not+ to uninstall it, but to allow the Developer version to write over/upgrade over the Office 2000 version. My Microsoft Office XP Developer is a full version. My Microsoft Office 2000 is also a full version. If I indicate that I want to install the Component Update, it asks me for a Component Disk (Could that be a a CD? If so, which one? I have seven of them in the Developer package.). How/where do I obtain a Component Disk? The Developer package was not cheap! Thank you.
