Patch Package

Question

I am trying to install Office xp pro plus frontpage. I installed once, and somehow, i erased it without knowing it. When i try to reinstall, it says "The patch package cant be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can open it..."

I also have msi.dll version 2.0, so the install cleaner wont work.

Please help.

I have had this com. for Three years. I have MS word 2002 and now everytime i try to get on word the message the patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vender to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. Please help so I can use word again for school???/

Hello, I see my reply did not complete. I found a cure to this problem on the Microsoft Office XP site. If you search for 'patch package' you should find it. You need to download a msicuu.exe file, which allows you to uninstall Word 2002. Make sure you choose this for all Windows Xp software is listed. I restalled my Word and it works just fine. Good luck. As you can see, I am also new to this forum.

Hello Bilzer,   This is the URL for the file.   http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;295823   When I checked on my first response, the message was incomplete, but hitting the refresh button fixed it. I hope you can get to the correct file soon.
