Thanks again.
I installed the Windows Installer fine on my laptop where I do NOT have the
Visual Studio .NET installed. I suspect it may be a version issue? I'm on
Windows 2000. The permissions weren't set that way on the laptop and
Windows Installer works fine.
After trying to install the Windows Installer (on this machine), I renamed
the MSADDNDR.DLL and tried again... after which Office 2000 disappeared
from my control panel's add-remove. In hindsite, I wish I had known all
along that I needed to install the VSI. I reinstalled VS6 and Ofc2K to be
sure it wasn't a corrupted file. Now I'm one step forward, two steps back.
Windows Installer still won't install, but at least I know I have the right
tool now.
Will try to solve this in a week or so when I can spend more time with it.
Again, thanks for the thoughts.
