I tried installing SP1 for Office XP but I get the following error msg :
"Error 1328. Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\PTA9A.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means, and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor."
I can't recall installing any patch. Can anyone help me out on this?

hey man thanx a lot...that was really helpful. sorry for the delay in accepting ur answer but it took me 3 days to download the file on my dial-up connection.
i want to install sp2 now. should i again download the file for admin installations or go for the standard file? also can u tell me how to install it? that would be a gr8 help.
thanx dude.
I installed sp2 (the normal file). i got a similar error this time as well (...file has probably been updated by other means). however i pressed the "ignore" button the 2/3 times that it appeared. So does this mean that sp2 has been successfully installed or should i download oxpsp2a? if i check version in wordxp it shows sp2.
it depeds what were those errors. some of error u can ignore it.
if it shows sp2, try to check your system for few days if u do not any problem, may be u had a good install.
anyway time u see problem with office applications, u may try repair option or try uninstalling sp2 and use the above mathod.
good luck.

OFFXP: Error 1328 When You Apply Office XP Service Pack 1 to a Workstation
http://support.microsoft.c
Error 1328.
--------------
A typical error message when attempting to update to Service Pack 1 is:
(Product: Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage -- Error 1328. Error applying patch to file c:\Config.Msi\PT190.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means, and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor. System Error: -1072807676
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fw
STEP 1 - Create an Administrative Installation Point
To create an Administrative Installation Point, Office XP CD 1 is required.
Insert Office XP CD 1 into the CD-ROM drive.
From a Command Prompt or from the Run Dialog type the following and click OK (or hit the Enter key)
Where X represents the letter of the CD-ROM drive:
x:\setup.exe /a
3. Office XP Administrative Setup will run, and the Administrative Installation window will appear. Type in your company name, and product key.
Leave the install location, c:\Office\ as it is. see example 2
After entering the information, click Next, and allow the installation to complete. It will take several minutes for the entire contents of CD 1 are extracted into the c:\Office\ folder.
STEP 2 - Download Service Pack 1 Administrative Update
Download the file Oxpsp1a.exe.
STEP 3 - Extract Service Pack 1 Administrative Update
Type c:\Office\ as the destination path to extract. Click OK.
STEP 4 - Update the Administrative Installation Point
The folder c:\Office\ now contains the Administrative Installation Point and the Service Pack 1 Administrative Patch files.
This step causes the Service Pack 1 Administrative Patch files to be integrated into the Administrative Installation Point.
NOTE: STEP 4 updates the files in the Administrative Installation Point only. The currently installed Office XP will not be updated until STEP 5.
Follow this procedure:
Select and copy the following text:
(msiexec /p c:\office\MAINSP1_Admin.ms
Open the Run Dialog from the Start Menu, or open a Command Prompt.
Paste the text (right-click and select paste) into the filename area of the Run Dialog, and click OK or press Enter.
The Office XP Setup window will appear. The Administrative Installation Point will take several minutes to update.
To update the Administrative Install Point's Office Web Components, select and copy this additional text:
(msiexec /p c:\office\OWC10SP1_Admin.m
Open the Run Dialog from the Start Menu, or open a Command Prompt.
Paste the text (right-click and select paste) into the filename area of the Run Dialog, and click OK or press Enter.
The Office Web Components setup window will appear, and the Administrative Installation Point will automatically be updated. This will take a minute or two.
The Administrative Install Point is now updated with an integrated SP 1. To verify that the Installation Point has been updated, follow these steps:
Using Windows Explorer, open the c:\Office\ folder.
Under the View menu, select Details. This will show the size and modification date of each file in the folder.
The files PROPLUS.MSI and OWC10.MSI should display the day on which they were updated with Service Pack 1
STEP 5 - Perform Detect & Repair from within the Administrative Installation Point
This step will update the currently installed Office XP to Service Pack 1.
To update the currently installed Office XP to Service Pack 1, perform the following steps:
Select and copy the following text:
(msiexec /i c:\office\proplus.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus)
Open the Run Dialog from the Start Menu, or open a Command Prompt.
Paste the text (right-click and select paste) into the filename area of the Run Dialog, and click OK or press Enter.
The Office XP Setup window will appear. Setup will now scan the computer and update all Office XP files to Service Pack 1. This will take several minutes.
To update the Office Web Components, select and copy the following text:
(msiexec /i c:\office\owc10.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus)
Open the Run Dialog from the Start Menu, or open a Command Prompt.
Paste the text (right-click and select paste) into the filename area of the Run Dialog, and click OK or press Enter.
The Office XP Setup window will appear. Setup will now scan the computer and update all Office Web Components to Service Pack 1. This will take a few minutes.
