DATA1.MSI Bug - M$ Office 2000 SR-1 Premium

First, I would like to send a huge "cudos" to the development team (or person) of this project! This is a great application! It was extrememly flexible and easy to integrate into existing code.

But, I got a problem/bug....

For two different machines running M$ Windoz XP with M$ Office 2000 SR-1 Premium, the FCK Editor seems to require a file that doesn't exist and requests that the user install a feature using the "DATA1.MSI" file from the M$ Office 2000 SR-1 Premium Disk.

Unfortunately, many of the people that will be using the editor are not bright enough to figure out what to do; or how to find their install disk. It will be impossible for me to update most of the users PC's. I've run into this problem twice with M$ Windoz systems out of five computers.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I guess this is more of a windows issue.

This is a problem with Office 2000 and IE.

HTML Source Editing is an object in Office 2000 that is by default 'install on demand'.

However that object is included in IE and is therefor not needed.

Solution:

Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > Office 2000 > Change > Tools > HTML Source Editing > NOT AVAILABLE

Then click ok, no disk is required and then everything should work great.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the insight.
I've been wondering about that problem.
Unfortunately on my machine Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > Office 2000 > Change yields only three options they are Repair Office, Add or Remove Features and Remove Office. Is there another mechanism simple mechanism to get around this bug?
