How it Worked

Notes on this Install

  1. Can't install Office 2000, because the installer quits after I enter the serial number.

  2. The Disk Manager is back, which I sorely needed (Components > Hardware > Logical Disk Manager).

  3. Themes didn't work (Zune was installed, and worked, but in Appearance Properties, I couldn't modify it).

I put back components (from previous install), in the hope that I could install Office:

Hardware Support > Toshiba PCI IDE Controller Hardware Support > Logical Disk Manager Multimedia > OPENGL Support Network > MSMail and MAPI Network > Network Setup Wizard Operating System Options > Auditing Resource Dlls Operating System Options > Certificate Management Operating System Options > Command-line tools Operating System Options > Extensible Storage Engine (Esent97) Operating System Options > Group Policy Management Console Operating System Options > IExpress Wizard Operating Services > Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Operating Services > COM+ Operating Services > DHCP Client Operating Services > Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) Operating Services > Event Log Operating Services > Network Location Awareness Operating Services > System Event Notification (SENS) Operating Services > System Monitor Operating Services > Task Scheduler Operating Services > Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Operating Services > Wireless Configuration

but Office still won't install.

I also removed Components

Multimedia > Intel Indeo codecs Network > Active Directory Services Network > H323 MSP Network > MAC Bridge Services > IPSEC Policy Agent Services > Protected Storage Services > Universal Plub and Play Device Host
