    I just installed a new version of office after upgrading to win 2000 now I am getting the message each boot up that pro.msi is not found and when I try to update it will not let me. I am sure I have seen the solution to this on this board but can not find it. Can someone lease point me to the answer to this problem :confused:

    Found the answer. Apparently M$ somehow goes back and uses previously installed files when I upgraded to 2K the files from my old office were lost this carried through installation of the new office???. Anyway getting the old install disk from office and inserting when asked solved the whole thing. :rolleyes:
