Error 1706. Setup cannot find the requireed files

[Guest Brenda]

After installing and trying Microsoft Office 2007, I wanted to go back to

Office 2002 XP Small Business so I deleted the trial 2007 programs via

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and now when I try to run any Microsoft

program (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.) I get the following message after the

Windows Installer pops up and tries to run. Error 1706. Setup cannot find the

required files. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive. I

recently moved and can't find my original Microsoft disks but I do have a

copy of Office 2003 which is my copy at my office. I'm wondering if I just

install the 2003 would it fix my problem?

Installing 2003 wouldn't repair the Installer call for Office 2002. It

would only end up adding another Office version onto your system.

If the time you've had Office 2007 isn't very long ( ~2 Weeks ) you

might do a System Restore. Otherwise it's a very common issue on

older office versions that the newer versions avoid with a Msocache

folder that provides .Msi and components without the CD-ROM.

How to order a replacement CD for Microsoft Office:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302822

 

If Microsoft asks for the Key Code, you can get this by downloading and

installing

one of the utilities mentioned below, all of which will display your product

keys:

Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

(Software Licenses/Key Code are listed about 2/3rds of the way down the

results page)

Also:

and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional
