0x8024002D Error During OfficeXP Update
Does anyone know how to solve this?
I get an error 0x8024002D because update is trying to find some file. It
cannot find it in the directory its supposed to be, so it asks me for an
Office XP disc. I provide the disc, but it cannot find it there either.
Once I cancel the update i get the above error message.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Option 1: Office XP is comprised of at least 5 major applications, but the
error code does not allow to isolate the error to any one application. That
means that I would have to repair every single Office application (Excel,
Word, Outlook, Access and Powerpoint). While this solution is possible, it
is not very practical.
Option 2: I ran a search through the Office XP CD and the file is not found
on it. Is there a particular directory on the CD that I should point the
browser to?
Option 3: How do I download the full update when the update process itself
is controlled by the ActiveX control?
