missing Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) - now what?
Posted by Brian on October 10th, 2004


Patch files (.MSP files) are missing and
I can't apply Office updates or uninstall old versions of
office. Of course, my office installation CD came from
the university so I can not access free email support
through MS.

Any advice?

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=295823 "You receive the 'This
patch package could not be opened' error message in Office 2003, in
Office XP, or in Office 2000".

Brian: Did you get any solutions? I'm trying to reinstall Office XP. I
keep getting the message about "This patch package could not be opened..."
(with the Windows Installer window) Do you know how to fix the windows
installer with Windows 98 se?
