office2003 install error

[Mark Hempstead]

have an embedded XP sp2 install - try to install office 2003 and it
complains "ven2232.OLB" can't be registered.
I've hunted through to make sure i've got all the relevent mdac
components but still no luck
any ideas?
how can you actually tell what software components you need, is there a
software equivalent to "tap"???

Thanks
Mar

For the record, I believe that it's a violation of the license agreement to install Office on an XPE device.

For app components. a good way to componetize an app, is to install it on a XP Pro box, and sysdiff the unit.

Here's an article on app componetization: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...p/html/xehowhowtocomponentizeapplications.asp

Thanks JC - I'll try that.

re. licensing, I'm a bit concerned over this as it's a commercial
project, why would office on a dedicated embedded device be in breach of
the XPe license?

Mark,

Office by default fall in the category of non embedded usages and it is against the license that you have signed. If you feel otherwise contact MS legal departement and try to convince them in why you need this and how it fall in to the embedded usage.

More about office and XPe:

Slobodan

Mark,

You should read the definition of an embedded system in Windows XP Embedded Licensing Requirements and Guidelines:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...xpembeddedlicensingrequirementsguidelines.asp

Also, this FAQ will be helpful to you to answer some licencing question:
