Error message: "the feature you are trying to use..." and request for alternate path to MAINSP3.MSP"
Since installing Office 2007 onto a XP Pro machine with pre-existing Office 2003 I receive this error message whenever I use Internet Explorer or Outlook 2007, or simply browse o a different web page:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'MAINSP3.MSP' in the box below."
I attempted installing Office 2003 SP3 but apparently it is already installed.
Remaining in Add-Remove Programs is Outlook2003, which doesn't show an otion to remove.
Can you help? -would be much appreciated.
