pro.msi

[Don Hooton]

I just started getting an error message that I've never
seen before.

When I invoke any Microsoft programs, Windows generates a
screen asking for the installation disk. It then asks me
for an pro.msi file which I cannot locate on the
installation disk.

What in the heck is going on here?

Note: I did a complete reinstall of Window XP and I am
still getting the error message!

If you have Microsoft Office installed, you might want to try a Repair
Installation of that program.

Hi Don,

In most cases this has to do with a missing UserData entry in the registry,
especially if the profile with the issue isn't the same profile Office was
originally installed in. Either way, run the edit on line 171

May shed some light on the problem.

Kelly replied a couple years ago to a similar issue with the website
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm which is helpful. Just
go to this page and find pro.msi. Click on the link that is found and
it will update your registry which will fix the error without having to
install the pro.msi file. Hope this helps
