- Windows Installer version 1.0 to Windows Installer version 1.1.
- Posted by jw on January 9th, 2006
How do you fix the problem below?
You installed Office updates in the past and then
upgraded from Windows Installer version 1.0 to Windows Installer version
1.1.
Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) from
previously applied Office updates are missing from the \Windows\Installer
hidden directory on your computer. MSP files are stored on your computer
after update installation completes because they need to be referenced for
future update operations. If the files are missing you will not be able to
apply Office updates. You may also be unable to uninstall Office products as
a result of the same
Thanks

What exactly is the problem? You might want to post to the office
update newsgroup.
