    Event ID 11708 MsiInstaller

    Hi,

    I'm having a hard time installing MS Office 2003 Proofing tools and have
    googled for an answer a couple of days without any luck. Every time I try
    and install the proofing tools it stops midway with a error message that
    says that the 'installation stopped premature because of an error.' I have
    installed Office 2003 with all updates.

    In the event veiwer I get this event:

    What I've done so far is used "Windows installer clean up" on MS Office 2003
    and installed it again. Then I have run a couple of registry cleanup tools
    and a antivirus test. I've even deleted and regenerated a new profile. I've
    also gone through the registry, Component Services, and files to see if
    there could be a permission problem, but nope.

    Please I would very much appreciate anything that can help.

    Hi McNeill,

    Perhaps the folks who frequent the newsgroup dedicated to MS Office setup
    could better assist you if you posted your question to them:

    microsoft.public.office.setup (newsreader)

    Hi MacLeod

    Thank you for responding!

    Yes, I have asked for assistance on the Office misc and setup groups, but I
    have not received any answer. After googling have found that there are a few
    that have experienced the same problem, but with other programs. It looks
    like it is connected with Windows Installer and/ or COM+ and not necessarily
    the program.

    Regards,
    McNeill

    I see that I haven't metioned that I have Windows XP SP2 with all all
    updates, including windows installer 3.1 v2. Strangely enough it isn't in
    the add/ remove programs list, but it has said that it installed
    succesfully.

    Re: Event ID 11708 MsiInstaller

    Try creating a log file during installation. To do so, you'll need to know
    the path to filename ptk.msi on the install CD in order to key in the
    appropriate information within this command in a command window:

    msiexec.exe /i <path to product.msi> /l* c:\<logfilename>.txt

    I don't know the path to ptk.msi on the install CD, so let's say that your
    CDROM drive is drive D, that the path on the install CD is:
    Office 2003 Proofing Tools\Install
    and that the logfile that you want to create is named ptkmsi.txt
    With the install CD in the drive, open a command window and key in:

    msiexec.exe /i D:\Office 2003 Proofing Tools\Install\ptk.msi /l* c:\ptkmsi.txt

    After keying in the above command, hit ENTER (I think you probably know that
    already, but I have made erroneous assumptions in the past <g>)

    The installer should then run as before, except this time it will create a
    log file (ptkmsi.txt) that you can open and view for (hopefully) further
    information and/or error messages pertaining to the failure to install.

    Re: Event ID 11708 MsiInstaller

    After going through the log file with a magnifying glass I found the error:
    StartCache: Error 0x80070002. So it was a registry error! I had the feeling
    that it was a registry problem, but would have never found it without
    consulting the log file.

    I am now a happy man as this has taken me several frustrating days to find.
    For some unexplainable reason I had not thought of generating a log file of
    the installation.

    Thank you!

    Regards,
    McNeill
