| 117844 | 2003-02-02 23:32:00 | Hi, I have recently added another hard drive to my computer and installed XP Home edition. Also running Win ME on the other drive. I have Office 2000 premium installed on the ME drive running fine :) When I try to install Office 2000 on the XP OS the installation terminates early with the message 'Installation has terminated prematurely'. Then 'for assistance contact microsoft support'. I really don't need the hassle of phoning the states only to be directed to the support pages on the microsoft web page (couldn't find anything there that helped). So I thought about consulting the thousands of knowledgeable people in here, before I resume bashing my head on the wall!!! Help!! Disorder |

I would be inclined to boot into safe mode (Or whatever version of it XP has) and do that, as I had troubles in 2K and office 97 once, and booting into safe-mode for install fixed it! > before I resume bashing > my head on the wall!!! > Naaah... Dont do that! The desk is always better ;-) |

| 117846 | 2003-02-03 08:01:00 | Disorder, The following KB notes may be of help with the problem: See article Off2K Installer Terminated Prematurely During Setup (support.microsoft.com) Try methods 2 & 3. If not try Windows Installer Errors for Off2K (support.microsoft.com) and if necessary see the following article (be warned technical!) Off2K troubleshooting (support.microsoft.com) Cheers, Babe. |
