I have Windows XP(Home) and have just installed SP2. I
now find that the setup.exe's for both Office 97 and
Visual Studio 6.0 do not work - an imapi process is
launched and immediately shuts down.

Any ideas on how to get these to work??

Why? The problems have only started since WindowsXP SP2
have been installed and occur on all setup.exe files (MS-
Setup setup.exe v3.0). It is a windows _not_ office
problem

Basically, what Carey is trying to say, is you have a better chance of
finding a solution in either an Office or Visual Studio newsgroup, as both
of those applications (Office 97/VS 6.0) use an old Windows installer that
is now incompatible with WinXP with the upgrade of SP2. If the individuals
browsing those groups have seen it, they'll have an answer and maybe even a
solution, as personally, I've not seen this error here mentioned in any of
the XP newsgroups or personally experienced the problem, as I too run XP SP2
with VS 6.0 - although I do use .NET along with Office 2k3, which most
likely updated the installer to a more current, compatible version.
