Guest Tacklinez Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I need to install Service Pack 1 (or 2) to my Fiance's computer (which does not have Internet Access). I downloaded SP 1 to my computer, copied it to disk and loaded that to her machine. When I ran the file, I got the message "The Expected Version of the Product was not found on Your System." Note: I am running Windows XP Home Edition, and her's is XP Professional. This is classic Catch-22 - I need the SP to get her computer On-line, but I can't get her On-line till I load the SP....... (sigh) Thank you for your help and advice.

And you are apparently try to install an *Office* XP Service Pack, not a Windows XP one, to his computer. Since he doesn't have Office XP installed, the installation fails with that message. By the way, you should certainly be installing Windows XP *SP2*, not SP1. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup
