Win98 Upgrade
 |
Alrighty then..
Another computer that I need to put Office XP on will not let me. It gives me
ERROR 2355: Setup cannot access a file cabinet. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive. For other potential solutions to this problem, see C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033\SETUP.HLP.
Also, when I put in the Win98 CD, it tells me
Warning SU0168
Your computer already has an operating system installed, which cannot be upgraded by this version of Setup. Please obtain the Windows 98 Upgrade.
How do I obtain the upgrade? and do I need this upgrade to install XP Office on it?
This computer has had Office XP on it before and it worked just fine

Check to make sure the Office XP cd isn't scratched. Make sure your CD-ROM driving is working properly. Also, download all the latest Windows Update bugfixes.
You want to upgrade to Win 98 from what OS?

You have 98 and its upgradeable to win98 SE,
Office XP is not reallymeant for win98 !!
You don't need the upgrade to install win98 full versions there is a trick .Restart windows with the win98 bootdisk,at the a:\ prompt type REN C:\windows\win.com win.old ,there is a space between win.com and win.old
Then type, Setup and install win98se over win98,you will be aked if you want to install to c:\windows000 ,say no and then rempove the 3 ,zers so that it overwrites win98

I know that it really isn't meant for 98, but all I do is what I am told. If the admin says to do it, I do it. (Not trying to sound mean)

If you're on a network, it's much, much, much simpler to copy the disk to folder, share it out, and install the software from the network.
No need for a cd as you can set permissions on a share (or hide the share completely - share$ is wonderful!) so no one else can access it, a whole slew of things. Drop the install key in a text file in that protected share, or create an unattended installation for OfficeXP

Champagne ambition on a beer budget.
Make sure you complety uninstall office xp before you upgrade to SE. Then try to install XP on the fresh SE installation.
