"An Office 2003 installation on your computer is corrupted and setup cannot continue" error on Office 2010 Pro install

I am currently trying to install Office 2010 Pro Plus onto my machine that has Access 97 and Access 2003, Visio 2003, Excel 2003, PowerPoint 2003, and Word 2003 installed. I need to keep the previous versions of Office installed as they are used for development
work. When I try installing Office 2010 I've stopped with the following error message: "An Office installation on your computer is corrupted and setup cannot continue. Remove or repair the Office 2003 product and re-run setup." I can't remove and
repair doesn't seem to do anything. Most posts suggest removing previous office versions or deleting/altering the MS Office registry keys (which would damage the previous versions of Office). Is there a solution to install Office 2010 independently of any
other version of Office installed?

I figured out a method to finally install Office 2010 bypassing the error stated in the title, by manually removing all the keys that included the term "Office 2003" from the Windows registry.
I share my fix with more details and pictures step by step here :

Please note that you need to be very careful when manually editing the Windows registry as it may cause problems to your operating system and even cause a massive failure requiring you to re-format your disk.

ITunes cannot sync to the AppleTV because of a problem on your computer. The required file cannot be found.

I have two first Gen Apple TV's and a new MAC Book Pro. I have about 600GB of music and 40GB of photos located on an external hard drive (Western Digital). In the past, I have not run into any issues when syncing music or photos. Recently, I get an error message "iTunes cannot sync to the AppleTV because of a problem you your computer. The required file cannot be found." I noticed this after I added a few folders to my photo folder, which the AppleTV is pointed to for accessing and syncing my photos. I went to the AppleTV to look to see if the new folders were in the photos, but they were not listed and obviously not syncing from the hard drive to the AppleTV.
For trouble shooting, I disconnected my upstairs AppleTV from iTunes, then reconnected, pointed the AppleTV to the applicable music and phots folders on my external hard drive. The music synced fine, but the photos did not sync. I got the same error message.
Does anyone have any advice to what the issue may be??
I read some posts similar to mine and the referenced deleting the iPhoto file cache. I did not try this as I do not use iPhoto as the source for my photos syncing to my AppleTV's.
Thanks - Scott1508

Looks like my WD Hard Drive may have an issue. I pointed the Apple TV to the photos folder on my other WD Hard Drive, which is formatted for MAC and it synced the photos fine. I had never had an issue with the first WD Hard Drive, but it was never formatted for MAC.
Not sure if this could be the issue???
I am considering getting an Apple Time Capsule (2 TB) for my back up, but also need a second back up for all my music and photos.
Does anyone have advice on moving to the Time Capsule as my main back up and keeping a WD as the secondary back up??

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

My computer will not recognize my iPod Nano when i connect it. I tried my laptop instead but it said the same thing - one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Can i fix this?

My 16 gig iPod Nano 7th gen was put of power. I connected it to the computer and it started to turn on (the apple appeared in the middle of the screen). Then left it two minutes and the computer went into sleep mode. My iPod nano had gone off and now it will not turn on, or connect to the computer, so i cannot charge it. I am not sure if it is a problem with the usb cable. When I conntct the cable to the computer nothing happens, but then when i connect the iPod to the cable it says 'one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it'. Please don't say its broken already

It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

Hi Srinivasa,
I guess, you didn't completed the initial setup schemaprep and adprep before starting the installation. You can do it as follows:
1. Open command Prompt as administrator and browse to the root of installation cd and run Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
After finishing this,
2. Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"<organization name>" /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. To prepare all domains within the forest run Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms. If you want to prepare a specific domain run Setup.exe /PrepareDomain:<FQDN of the domain you want to prepare> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
4. Once you complete all of the 3 steps, install the pre-requisities for Exchange 2013
5. Finally, run the setup program
Hope this will help you

Windows 2012R2 Server Image. Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file.

Hello!
When I try to deploy Windows Server 2012R2 64bit on a local machine from my WDS server. I get this error :
"Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file. Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system administrator for assistance"
This message appear at the last step of the installation. (Finishing Install)
When I burn the image to a DVD I can install it problem free on my Machines. But when I capture said image and try to deploy it, this message appears.
The same message also appears when I try to deploy a Windows 8.1 image.
If I try to install this image with an unattended file. I get an error during "Install features" that there was a problem in "offline Servicing" even tough that field is Empty in my XML file.
The server i'm using has Windows 2012 standard 64bit. And the Image files was downloaded through MSDN.

Glad to hear the issue has been resolved.

How to migrate Office 2010 Pro application most recently opened document (MRU) to Office 2013 applications

I am upgrading from Office 2010 Pro to Office 2013 Pro. In my test, we discovered that the MRUs are not getting migrated over from the Office 2010 Pro applications into the Office 2013 Pro applications. I am using the Microsoft
Office 2013 OCT to do the configurations. In the OCT, I have "migrate user settings" checked, but that did not work for the users MRUs. I came across the following link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/67b3622f-5b7c-4c57-b71d-c8c7de6f7da9/office-2010-pro-to-2013-not-migrating-settings-and-recent-history?forum=officeitpro
That suggests manually creating the Migration key with sub keys like below
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000d
"Lang"=dword:00000409
On the test machine that I was using and had installed Microsoft Office 2013 Pro on, I found the keys listed as follows
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e
"Lang"=dword:00000000
1) I would like to know which is correct subkey ("UpgradeVersion" and "Lang") to use?
2) Since I am using the OCT, can I add or import them into the OCT add registry entries section?
Thanks for your help.

Since you are doing an uninstall-upgrade the MRU list will not migrate by default.
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000d means Office 14.0, also known as Office 2010
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e means Office 15.0, also known as Office 2013
"Lang"=dword:00000409 means Locale ID = English_United_States, and the "Lang"=dword:00000000 means default.
In this case, you plan to migrate Office 2010 to 2013. thus, the correct one is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e
"Lang"=dword:00000409 (00000000 is ok as well)
Yes, you may import them into OCT registry entries section, or you may deploy these registry keys before migration.

Office 2010 pxe installed without outlook

Hello,
we have a image with microsoft office 2010 pro plus. this is installed without outlook (because of zenworks and groupwise)
now we had to install outlook on a certain amount of computers. we tried using the dvd of office where the software on the image is based on and then change the installed packages but this did not show outlook in the menu.
after that we tried removing office and then reinstalling it and this works.
but now the question remains is there a way to install outlook without reinstalling the total package of office?
if you need more info than please let me know.
thanks in advance,
Michel de Boer

Hi,
to modify an existing installation (e.g. to change a feature state from "Absent" to "Local/Installed"),
you can do this several ways;
a) create a customization MSPfile (with OCT) and deploy that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179141(v=office.14).aspx
b) create a customization XMLfile and deploy that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195(v=office.14).aspx#ElementOptionState http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178956(v=office.14).aspx#BKMK_modify
c) uninstall and reinstall Office

Upgrade Office 2010 Standard to Office 2010 Pro Plus using Config.xml

Hello,
I am upgrading Office 2010 Standard to Office 2010 Pro Plus. But after using the below config pro plus did get installed but both versions of Office 2010 ( Stand and Plus ) show up on the machines. I want only Office Pro plus to appear.
The second issue is that even after uninstalling Office 2010 Standard from the Control panel the Office shows activation of both ( Going to --File ---Help)
How can I edit this config.xml to remove office 2010 Standard first and then upgrade to Office 2010 Pro Plus?
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />


<PIDKEY Value="aaaa-aaa-aaa-aaa" />
<COMPANYNAME Value="XYZ Co." />
<Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1" />







</Configuration>

Hi,
Here is not a Config.xml solution, but we can use it as a workaround, basically automate the uninstallation of Office 2010, reboot the computer and then deploy Office 2010. You may find the following article useful if you need more info on that.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2010/06/01/office-2010-kms-installation-and-troubleshooting.aspx
thanks

what does the client side need. Do they need a kms key? how do I check
on the KMSclient, and/or on the KMShost, to check, you can use:
cscript slmgr.vbs /dli all > c:\kmsout.txt
(this will output all possible Windows and Office licenses to the output file, and shows the status of each)
When you install Windows or Office by using VL media, by default these are pre-configured with KMSclient product key.
In case the machine may have been reconfigured with a different product key, and you find that you need to reconfigure back to a KMSclient product key, the Office KMSclient product keys are here:
