Error 1402.Setup--Cannot Repair--Code 57A Errors During Updates

Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2007 Enterprise edition Many people have reported this issue, but after 3 days and a dozen (wasted) hours, none of the sugestions I've read so far, have yet worked. Suite apps all work fine...it is just that for some of the "important updates", the install fails (Code 57A). When I try to repair off the DVD, I get the "...cannot open the registry key UNKNOWN\Components\(...)\(...) Verify that you have sufficient permissions..." Then I am directed to a file for instructions on how to contact Microsoft PSS--only the file doesn't exist(?)! [I h

Office 2007 Custom File Uninstall

I've created a custom Office 2007 Standard install .MSP which includes files and reg keys added to the package. And it installs perfectly. But the uninstall (from ARP or setup.exe /uninstall standard) does not remove these entries. Normally I would handle this all using Custom Actions int he MSI, but OCT precludes that option. Am I missing something in my customization? or does OCT not remove customizations (even though their site says it does)? Any and all advice welcome.

Need to Re-Install MS Small Business Manager & Accounting Express

I upgraded my Office 2003 to Office SB 2007, a couple of weeks ago, including Outlook 2007, BCM and Accounting Express, without a hitch. However, after the Windows Update of February 26, 2010, my system (Vista Home Premium 32-bit - 3GB RAM 250GB HDD w/62% available) crashed. I re-started into Safe Mode and verified all was OK. Then rebooted into Normal mode. Outlook, Word, Excel, etc. all started fine, but I noticed that the Business Contact Manager was missing from the left vertical panel of Outlook 2007 and Accounting Express was not to be found. So, I tried re-installing both

MSP Regfile reverted by SP2

We roll out our office 2007 Pro by putting one .msp customized install in the Updates folder and then we update it to SP2 by putting the SP2 .msp files in that same updates folder. Here is my issue.... We are shutting off sandbox mode by changing the sandbox mode registry entry to 2. (I have added this registry entry into the reg section of my custom install .msp.) We need to do this because of some legacy databases that can't run reports if the sandbox mode is enabled.

Upgrading from Office Home and Student to Small Business

New notebook because old one crashed. I have my installation disks of Office Small Business 2007 UPGRADE, which was installed on the old notebook. Of course, I can't locate the disks for Office 2003, which I'd upgraded from. And, of course, in the install process, Office 2007 is telling me there's no version of Office on my computer so I can't "upgrade." I do, however, have the install disks for Office Home and Student 2007 (which is loaded on a different computer). According to the Office Small Business Upgrade docs, that qualifies as a version eligible for upgrade. When prom

Reinstall 2003 after HDD failure

I have recently suffered a hard disc failure and reinstalled all my data and programs from a backup. Now when I boot up, I get one box that says that Normal dot is being used by another program or person and do I want to save over the original. This is odd because there's no reason why word should be opening on boot up. Also I get another window on boot up that says that Powerpoint failed to start properly. Again why is it trying to start anyway? This message always appears twice even though I untick the box that asks if I want to retry. Why is this happening?
