Impossible to install Office 2003 on Windows 7 Starter netbook

Hi - I'm looking for help in setting up my office 2003 DVD on my netbook.  I tried to connect a DVD player to my netbook (not good) and followed with a copy of the contents of entires of the DVD to my netbook via a flash drive (also not good).

In both scenarios, I get the following error:
Installation of Microsoft Office 2003: error 1723.  There is a problem with the Windows Installer package.  A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. »

Cords or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Steve Heff,.

You receive this error Windows Installer error 1723 when installing a program. Installation can be terminated prematurely, or there may be a fatal error during installation. Windows Installer error 1723 occurs because Windows Installer cannot start the source files for the configuration of the software application you are trying to install. These files may be missing or damaged. In general, the original MSI installation files will be cached in the ' C: winntInstaller directory before installation begins. Inappropriate caching of a file MSI is main causes of errors, too.

First of all, check if the Windows Installer service is started in the Services.

1. click on start.
2 type Service to start the search.
3. Locate the Windows Installer Service in the Services window.
4. make sure that the service is started, if it is to restart the service and check.

Now try to install Microsoft Office and check.

If you are unable to install, then I suggest that you uninstall all files related to Microsoft Office 2003 by using Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.

See link: use the utility Windows Install CleanUp to remove Office 2000, Office XP or Office 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Now try to install Office and check.

To get help, I would recommend that you visit the Microsoft Office forums from the link below:

  • Impossible (to install office 2003 after repeated failures of the updates for office 2003 re security)

    The security update for office 2003 on my XP (SP3) kept failing throughout the last week. I contacted the support of MS PC security by phone and I was transferred from the Department the installation program office at Department of update of security for customer service. And none of them had no idea of what is the problem. I lost patience with MS is supported. I followed some other technique posted on the web for the same question and tried to uninstall office 2003 and re - install. However my new installation of office 2003 meets the following error (same error I got when I tried to apply the security updates)

    "Error 2932: an internal error has occurred."

    Contact the Services de Support technique Microsoft (PSS) for assistance. »

    After the Installer rolls back all the facilities. Now I find myself with no office 2003 (I tried office 2007 install with the same result).

    I would really appreciate it if other users can help you with a fix for this or MS support engineer.

    My desktop is hp pavilion PC under XP (SP3).

    Finally, I was able to get good support from Microsoft. A Microsoft support engineer remotely connected to my machine and was able to fix the installation/update directories corrupted microsoft who were at the origin of the problem. I managed to install office with success and things are back to normal. I had given up hope after my original support request (2 weeks back) and the first experience with the customer. But MS technical support engineers (the less one that helped me yesterday) seem to have a good idea of what was going on and was able to solve my problem quickly. Thank you MS support

  • INSTALL OFFICE 2003 ON NEW COMPUTER, NO DISC

    Hello

    My computer crashed with office 2003 against it and bought a new laptop. I would like to know how to install office 2003 on the new computer, I have no cd or touch more.

    Impatience on your part.

    Simple you can't... you need... installation source such as a cd or a USB key with the installation files. Then you need a code.

    If you do not have access to these more you need to buy office or you can try to use openoffice. It's a similar to ms office free office suite.

    Impossible to install Google Chrome on Windows 7
    After downloading and installing Google chrome program does not open.
    Help, please

    Hello

    When you uninstall Google Chrome you also remove the Chrome files that remain when the program is removed?  Verify that no files have been left after uninstalling.  The path to check (with hidden files showing) is:

    C:\Users\\AppData\Local

    There you should see a folder with the name Google remove this folder and try to reinstall.  To get hidden files to show the computer open, select organize in the toolbar area.  We see the choice of folder and Search Options.  Click on that.  From there click on the view tab.  There is the option to show hidden files.  This will allow you to find the necessary space to remove the folder.

  • With the help of Microsoft Office 2003 in Windows 7 that has been changed in Windows XP

    The company I work for recently had to buy a new computer because our hard drive crashed.  We were accustomed to using Windows XP, so the newcomer with Windows 7, but they managed to install Windows XP on it, which is good, since that's what we are used to.  However, the new computer came with OpenOffice and not Microsoft Word or Excel.  Some of the functionality is the same, but it is quite different and slows me down because the formatting of the documents is not the same and we don't have time to reformat all of our existing documents.  We have been using Word 2003 and Excel 2003.  Can someone tell me if buy us Microsoft Office 2003, if it will work on our existing Windows 7 with Windows XP change?  If so, our existing documents created in the 2003 version will remain unchanged or anyway should I reformat them?  Any help you can provide is MUCH appreciated.  Thank you!

    If your company has put Windows XP on it - which was a 100% wipe.  This computer has no idea that he had never Windows 7 top because it cannot read some sticker is on it (product key/certificate of authenticity), nor can it read the invoice which was purchased with it.

    When they suffered the (formatted) system and installed Windows XP pn it cleanly and updated it - they should have installed other software you needed in the context of your work.  Which probably included Office 2003.

    OpenOffice is free - anyone can get it.  If you own a license for Microsoft Office 2003, you do not - you might have installed on Windows 7, or you can install it on Windows XP now. (License and support).

  • I'm about to buy a new laptop. I have installed the upgrade to Office 2007 some time ago and have the CD, but I don't have the original CD that I used to install Office 2003. How can I install Office 2007 on my new computer with only the upgrade CD?

    I am currently running XP.  I expect that the new laptop has Windows 7.

    Without the original installation media, Microsoft Office 2003, you cannot install a version upgrade of Microsoft Office 2007.  You would need to purchase a version of "Full license" of Office 2007. Carey Frisch

    KB949810 is an option, not the security update. As long as you were able to validate and you do not experience problems installing Office updates, feel free to hide it.

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
    Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > run > %windir%\SoftwareDistribution (enter) > [OK]
    Open the download folder and delete its contents
    Close the window.

    3. go to the Windows Update Web site. Select CUSTOM and allow the analysis to be performed. Uncheck/unselect KB949810 and hide ("don't show me this update").

    4. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
    Double-click Automatic Updates > click Start

    If the Office programs are preinstalled on your computer, you will need to contact the manufacter of the computer to see if you have the product key to reinstall on your computer.

    Otherwise, since they have been deleted, you will need to reinstall using original diskettes or purchase need office products.

  • installed Office 365 on windows 7

    I installed Office 365 on my Windows 7 computer

    Now I opened Excel, create a new workbook and I do what I've always done, nothing more and nothing less.

    After changes to the workbook and other tasks, I close and save the workbook in my documents directory.

    Next time you start my machine, I go to my documents and locate the Excel file and double-click it to open it... so... nothing happens...

    All my files created with my new Office 365 are default opening with Office XML Handler...

    What happens?, could someone help me?

    Thank you

    Daniel

    Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

    Looks like you've got your files incorrectly associated with the XML Manager.  To check, you are able to open your files correctly if you open Excel first and then use the "open" command to find and open the document inside the Excel already running?

    If Yes, then you can solve this easily.  Simply exit Excel, go to your Documents folder and find your last used Excel file.  Right click, choose "Open with" and choose "Excel" as an option.
