You might have a problem installing Office 97 if you've already
installed SP2 but you'll have no problem running it or Outlook.

I have XP and downloaded the SP2. Now my PC won't let me reinstall my
Office 97 SBE.

I get an error message which says:

C:\windows\system32\autoexec.int The system file is not suitable for
running M-S Dos and Microsoft Windows applications.

Any ideas how I get round this. I uninstalled SP2 but this hasn't helped.

Try doing a clean install of XP, followed by SP2 and then Office.

Service Pack 2 adds file protection for some registry keys, one of
which Office 97 needs to modify if the HTML options are selected.

Won't work. Gotta be XP, Office97, ALL Office97 updates and then SP2.
