installing Office 2003
Posted by RB on September 15th, 2004


I installed Office 2003 Professional Enterprise edition
with no problem on my laptop. But when I try to install it
on my desktop (XP Home Edition) the
installation "terminates prematurely." The error message
says the operation is "aborted because of a thread exit or
application request." Can anyone tell me what to do about
this problem?

Do a verbose log setup and we can tell when and where the install is
failing.

<path>\setup.exe /L*v C:\Verboselog.tx
Use the drive letter or install source path in place of <path> ie
d:\sertup.exe .................

Clippy,
I did as you instructed. I found this in the log: "Exception code: C00000006
IN_PAGE_ERROR Module: C:\Windows\System32\msi.dll Function: 0x76416a8e" Can
you decipher this? Thanks.
