Office XP

[Ed Nemec]

I get the following Error message when I check for updates
for Office XP.. It sounds as if my Windows Install has a
problem. Microsoft does not tell you how to fix it. Any
Ideas..

Error! Unable to check for updates on this computer Help

The Office Update site is unable to check for updates on
this computer. This may be happening because of one of the
following reasons:

You do not have administrative privileges for this
computer.
There is a network problem and the detection catalog used
by the Office Update site failed to download. Go back to
the Downloads home page and try running detection again.
Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) from previously
applied Office updates are missing from the
\Windows\Installer hidden directory on your computer. MSP
files are stored on your computer after update
installation completes because they need to be referenced
for future update operations. If the files are missing you
will not be able to apply Office updates. You may also be
unable to uninstall Office products as a result of the
same problem. Please contact Microsoft Product Support for
assistance.
You installed Office updates in the past and then upgraded
from Windows Installer version 1.0 to Windows Installer
version 1.1. For more information see the KB article
Windows Installer May Prompt for Install Source if
Unavailable.
