[b]Microsoft Excel can't run this add-in. Microsoft Excel cannot instl the necessary files due to Windows installer error 1635. I found that I can't do anything with my Office CD1 except generate error messages. HELP!!!! |

| 56755 | 2002-06-23 17:12:00 | Thanks Babe I spent most of the afternoon perusing the Microsoft artcle you pointed me too and many other articles but could not find one that suggested a "fix" Am I not be able to add an add-in to a patched version of Office? |

| 56756 | 2002-06-23 21:58:00 | Hi Capt Jimbo Can you post your OS version and any other relevant info. If you know your Windows Installer s/w version that may help. Anything about your system setup that you feel could help?. Cheers, Babe. |

| 56757 | 2002-06-23 23:03:00 | Hi Capt Jimbo, You sure can (should be able to as I have just tested that) add addins. Have you also tried running the REPAIR option from the Office 2000 CD1 setup? Note it must be the same cd1 version/type of O2K you originally installed Office from. Also the following from the MS KnowledgeBase may be of help: NOTE: Microsoft Office 2000 has built-in functionality that allows you to get more information about difficult-to-troubleshoot alerts or error messages. If you want to enable this functionality for this and other error messages in Microsoft Office 2000, please download the Microsoft Office 2000 Customizable Alerts file from the Microsoft Office Update Web site at the following address: office.microsoft.com Cheers, Babe. |

| 56758 | 2002-06-24 08:56:00 | Still going around in circles The Customizable Alerts File basically took me back to where I started. I can't run the repair otion from the CD. I get the error message before any other options come up. I'm running Windows ME 4.90.3000. |

| 56759 | 2002-06-24 11:12:00 | Ok Capt Jimbo, I'm back online for awhile. Ok you may have something wrong with the Windows Installer itself. The initial release was version 1.1? however v2.x is available. You could [re]install Windows Installer version 2.x for WinME www.microsoft.com try the above first and repost back to PressF1 You may have something corrupted and need to use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility (not for the faint-hearted) support.microsoft.com Cheers, Babe. |

| 56760 | 2002-06-25 08:31:00 | I tried Windows installer 2.x for ME I get the error message The specified service already exists The Windows Installer Clean up utility is only for installer versions prior to 2.0 Mine is 2.0.2600.2 Any other tricks up your sleeve Babe? :-) |

| 56761 | 2002-06-29 01:21:00 | Capt Jimbo, Sorry I haven't replied been busy for a couple of days... then I installed Jetstream with a new ethernet router connected to the 10/100 switch. Anyways... I have done a couple of tests and I can replicate your problem to a certain degree. heres how... Installed & configured Office 2k SBE, Tried later to install the addon packs for Excel using a different cd version (Off2k Premium) got errs. Reinstall off2k from premium and tried updates/addon from SBE got errs. tried various combinations of Off2k cds SBE, Premium Standard etc. and found that using the 'wrong' office cd gave me similar (not the same) errors you got. Does this make sense to you in your situation? Don't everyone else reply to my post as this was testing for Capt Jimbos' benefit. Capt Please post back when you can. Cheers, Babe. |
