Microsoft Office 2003 Forum

Hey folks,

I'm a happy 4.2 user trying out the 5.0 demo to see how it's working. So far I've been very happy with the improvements (IE/ActiveX CRM my company uses seems to work perfectly now, a couple issues were fixed), but I'm running into a problem installing Office 2003 off the central server. I'm prompted for a key for one, which doesn't happen when installing it in Windows. Just after putting in the key, I get an error popup "Microsoft Office Setup cannot continue because the installation source has been corrupted". It dies at that point. The same location installs fine in Windows so I know the installation files are fine.

Any ideas? I haven't yet tried copying the entire installation tree to my HD to try it, it's on a mounted samba share.

Thanks!
Scott

Yea I get the same problem. Funny thing is you mentioning the files being located on a samba share. I'm busy copying them to local fs and see how that works out.

Will let you know.

Hi,
I am having the same problem with Office 2003. I have a couple of original cds with the application and I cannot get around it.
I wanted to ask whether you have found a solution for it.
I would be grateful if you could send me your reply at kafedzhiev@gmx.de.
Thanks a lot again and sorry if I have disturbed.

Hi all,

has there been any resolution? I am having the same problem with CrossOver 5.0 and Ofiice 2003 Professional on Red Hat Enterprise 4.0.

Mark,

I am currently having some issues getting things working in SUSE 10, but it worked fine for me in Fedora Core 4, which shouldn't be too different from RHEL4. I'd suggest filing a ticket, since most responses here are from advocates and other customers, not CodeWeavers staff.
