Windows Installer every time open Pub2000
A few weeks ago, I had to reinstall Office 2000
Professional Edition because of problems using the online Office Updater. Now, everything works except that when I open Publisher 2000, the Windows Installer insists on running - presumably updating something - then it closes and Pub2000 finishes opening and works fine. The symptom is very similar to what MS documents in KB265194 - except that Windows Installer only runs when opening Publisher. I have tried everything that KB265194 suggests - in addition to removing mspub.exe and letting it reinstall. Still, there is no change - I see the blasted Windows Installer dialog every time I open Publisher. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

For what it's worth, KB265194 fixed my Windows Installer issue with Word
2000. I had to go to the registry edit but I've lost *most* of my fear of fiddling around with the Registry. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Holsapple" wrote in message ...
