So you already knew you were no longer able to update your Office version?
Sounds like some useful information to have included.
Post a clear description of your installation problem in one of the Office
groups where they deal with these issues.

I installed sr-1a and sp-2. When I tried to install sp-3 I get the
following
message:

Office Hotfix Installer encountered a problem. We are sorry for the
inconvenience.

The included data is as follows:

ProdCode : x ProdVer : x Action : OHotfixDetectionNPUErr
ErrNum : 1612 Err0 : {86EBDD0F-9C25-422A-8A69-36B7C8673032}
Err1 : NormalPatch.cpp Err2 : 139

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I have had the same problem. I have used Outlook 2000 as a part of
Office
2000 SBE for years and never had problems, but about 4 days ago, my
computer
restarted after a Windows update, and ever since, I have experienced
the
same
problem.

I get the following error when I start Outlook:

Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for the inconvenience.

When I click "more information about this error," I get this:

AppName: outlook.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.2416 ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 00037efe

I can send the rest of the technical data if that is of any use to
you....

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Another frustrated customer

No. You've provided no information. Remember, we can't read minds.
Provide
at least some basic information, including:
1. How you installed Outlook and why you would be installing only
Outlook
and not Office.
2. Why you need to install a product so far out of date and out of
support.
3. Messages you received during the installation.
4. How you configured Outlook during the installation and in which
mode
you
installed it (Corp/Workgroup or Internet Mail Only).
5. Whether you installed clean or over a previous version.

news I can not open Outlook after installing the application. The Outlook
logo
comes up and then the message "Microsoft Outlook has encountered a
problem
and needs to close...." comes up. Please tell MS about this
problem.

I sent the report to MS. Do they do anything about the report?

Does anyone know how to fix this. I have unistalled the app and
reinstalled
it but the same thing happens.
