When did Micorosoft Works get thrown into this?

*sigh*

It's good to give more complete information when posting.

At this point, what installation media do you have? Do you have whatever
Microsoft Works/Microsoft Office installation media you might need to
restore your system to its original state (meaning Microsoft Works 2004
installation CD(s) and whatever Microsoft Office 2002/XP product CD(s) you
would need to install said products clean?)

If you do - you should remove *all* Microsoft Works and Microsoft Office
products (Add/Remove Programs, uninstall each of them.) Reboot.

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan with the following
(freeware version):

SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan with the following
(freeware version):

MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Download and run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

You may find nothing, you may find only cookies, you may think it is a
waste of time - but if you do all this and report back here with what you
do/don't find as you are doing all of it - you are adding more pieces to
the puzzle and the entire picture just may become clearer and your
problem resolved.

Ignore the title and follow the sub-section under
"Advanced Troubleshooting" titled,
"Method 1: Reset the registry and the file permissions"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377
*will take time
** Ignore the last step (6) - you either have SP3 or don't - don't care.
You shouldn't concern yourself over that *right now*.

You will likely see errors pass by if you watching, even count up. No
worries *at this time*.

*After* that is done, continue on to the next part where you clean off
some excess (unnecessary) files. It only removes those you definitely
do not need, if you follow the directions *as given* and do not deviate.
So reboot (for each of these steps, it is just best to reboot right
before - but I will continue to point that out) and logon as an user with
administrative priviledges.

Download/install the "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

After installing, do the following:

Start button --> RUN
(no "RUN"? Press the "Windows Key" + R on your keyboard)
--> type in:
"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Installer Clean Up\msizap.exe" g!
--> Click OK.
(The quotation marks and percentage signs and spacing should be exact.)

It will flash by *quick*, don't expect much out of this step to get
excited about. But the cleaner your machine is to start with, the
better your luck will be later (not really luck - more like preparedness,
but that's not as fun to think about, eh?)

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Download/Install the latest Windows Installer (for your OS):
( Windows XP 32-bit : WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe )
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Download the latest version of the Windows Update agent from here (x86):
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
.... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After saving it to the
root of the C:\ drive, do the following:

Close all Internet Explorer windows and other applications.

Start button --> RUN and type in:
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
--> Click OK.

(If asked, select "Run.) --> Click on NEXT --> Select "I agree" and click on
NEXT --> When it finishes installing, click on "Finish"...

Reboot and logon as administrative user.

Repeat this step again, Visit this web page (in Internet Explorer):

How do I reset Windows Update components?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

.... and click on the "Microsoft Fix it" icon. When asked, select "RUN",
both times. Check the "I agree" box and click on "Next". Check the box
for "Run aggressive options (not recommended)" and click "Next". Let
it finish up and follow the prompts until it is done. Close/exit and
reboot when it is.

You should now perform a full CHKDSK on your system drive (C:)...

How to scan your disks for errors
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265
* will take time and a reboot

You should now perform a full Defragment on your system drive (C:)...

How to Defragment your hard drives
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314848
* will take time

Uninstall any and all third-party firewall applications (ZoneAlarm, etc)
and utilize the built-in Windows Firewall only.

Reboot.

Log on as an user with administrative rights and open Internet Explorer
and visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and select to do a
CUSTOM scan...

Every time you are about to click on something while at these web pages -
first press and hold down the CTRL key while you click on it. You can
release the CTRL key after clicking each time.

Once the scan is done, select just _ONE_ of the high priority updates
(deselect any others) and install it.

Reboot again.

If it did work - try the web page again - selecting no more than 3-5 at a
time. Rebooting as needed.

The Optional Software updates are generally safe - although I recommend
against the "Windows Search" one and any of the "Office Live" ones or
"Windows Live" ones for now. I would completely avoid the
Optional Hardware updates. Also - I do not see any urgent need to
install Internet Explorer 8 at this time.

Seriously - do all that. This is like antibiotics - don't skip a single
step, don't quit because you think things will be okay now - go through
until the end, until you have done everything given in the order given. If
you have a problem with a step come ask and let someone here get you
through that step. If you don't understand how to do a step, come back
and ask here about that step and let someone walk you through it.

Then...

Install Works first. Update it. After Works is installed and updated,
install any Microsoft Office products (some may have installed with Works -
depending onn what version of Works you have...) Update all of them. Once
all that is done *then* install PowerPoint Viewer 2007 and the SP1 patch.

From: HogDuster on 1 Mar 2010 13:15
Before I start, see my add/remove programs below....NOTE all parts of MS
Works Suite 2004 are functional except MS Word.....I HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE
Control at all boots...

MS .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
MS .NET Framework 3.0 SP2
MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
MS Compression Client Pack 1.0 for Win XP
MS Office PowerPoint Viewer 2007
MS Picture It! Photo Premium 9
MS User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.0
MS Vissual C++ 2005 Redistributable
MS Vissual C++ 2005 Redistributable
MS Word 2002***will not uninstall***
MS Works
MS Works 2004 Setup Launcher
MS Works Suite Add-in for MS Word

Microsoft Word 2002 is part of my Microsoft Works Suite 2004 which *I have
product cd's and key registered to me*.

At the moment, I can not remove MS Word 2002. See following screen.

**This package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that
you can access it, or contact the app. vendor that this is a valid Win
Installer Patch package.**

When I open MS Word 2002 from my program start menu I get the following,
Word opens on screen...Windows Installer appears for a second (Disc #1 is in
drive) then this error message..

**An error occured and this feature is no longer funtioning properly. Would
you like to repair this featue now?**

Clicking YES gets this screen...

**MS can not install the necessary files due to Win Installer error 1635.
This package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you
can access it, or contact the app. vendor that this is a valid Win Installer
Patch package.**

With Disc #1 still in drive, OK gets..

**MS Word has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to
install the application.**

OK quits MS Word.

Running install to remove MS Word 2002 gets the following Windows Installer
message:

**This package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that
you can access it, or contact the app. vendor that this is a valid Win
Installer Patch package.**


This all started with auto updates :

Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) FAILED Error
Code 0x529
Office XP Service Pack 3 FAILED Error Code 0x529

I assume Office XP Service Pack 3 was meant for my system.

WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86 Installer is loaded as it is listed as update in
my add/remove programs as...

*Hotfix for Windows XP (KB942288-v3)*

Got this message once while running installer to repair MS Word.

***Microsoft Office Hotfix Installer encountered a problem . We are sorry
for the inconvenience.** Sent Error Report

I trust this is all good info.
From my add/remove list at top, please advise which programs should be
removed if I AM ALLOWED TO DO SO. *Could be blocked as I was with MS Word
above.*

All this makes me wonder if the Windows Installer actually works.

After you respond, I will proceed, if there is a way to uninstall MS Word
and then others that you list for me to remove.

Thanks
