You are to insert your MS Office XP CD, not the MS Outlook CD.

Best to ask the boys in an MS Office newsgroup.

You ask the experts in an MS Office or Outlook group!

1. Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=85af7bfd-6f69-4289-8bd1-eb966bcdfb5e

2. Scroll down & read the section "To install SP3 without the original
Office XP CD".

3. Scroll to the end of the page and download the file
"OfficeXpSp3-kb832671-fullfile-enu.exe"
(Do not Run it; Save it to your desktop instead.)

4. Close all open applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar) and
double-click on the saved file (OfficeXpSp3-kb832671-fullfile-enu.exe) to
install. Follow all prompts.

Hi Robear,
Did all you suggested and still asked for the 2002 disc,I
clicked ok,then this new error message appeared:
(error 1706 c;\Program Files\Microsoft Office\office10\1033\setup.HLP.)
I've done a search for this file office10 and nothing shows up on the PC
Sorry about this,it's a complete mystery,I have uninstalled officexp and
reinstalled thinking that might help but no joy,where do I go now.

You receive an "Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files” error

I'm having the same problem, I tried installing the alternate update version,
I can't find the .msi files on my computer, and I don't have access to the
CD. Is there any other way to get this update?

Hi Min,

An Error 1706 is basically saying it can't find the original disks (or network installation point) to repair or complete the
installation.
