Description Product: Microsoft Office 2000 Premium -- Error <error code> <error description>
Comments Jeremy Ano: Error code 1706 = "No valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. The Windows installer cannot continue." - This error usually happens after switching profiles on a 2000 pro machine. To fix the problem download and install Mdac.
Adrian: Error code 1321 = The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: - Permissions to the C:\Winnt\Installer folder are insufficient for MSI to create\modify files. See Q217714.
Rummie Herssein: Error code 1706 = "No valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. The Windows installer cannot continue." - This occurs when windows attempts to locate a file (such as the first time you start up office after installation, or if you accidentally click "Reconfigure mail support" in MS outlook, tools, options....) to complete configuration of an application. Windows attempts to find the file that it needs in the exactly location that the application was installed from. therefore this file IN that location must be available. If you installed from a CD, insert the disk, and point the MSI installer there. if you installed over a network, you will have to reconnect to that network share.
Aram Iskenderian: Error: 1931 - See Q279177.
Adrian Grigorof: Error 1706: A large number of Q articles explain various conditions on which this error can occur. Most of them due to features that have to be installed at the first use but the installation files are not available.
