From: nycman on 2 Dec 2008 23:41 Do you have any idea what the word you used -- "ingratiated" -- means? Apparently not. You used it exactly the opposite of the way I think you wanted to. Plase check "ww.dictionary.com" before using words of more than one syllable. -- nycman "Shenan Stanley" wrote: > Uwe wrote: > > For weeks I have been trying to get rid of this install failure > > message, error code 0x537.

What exactly does this accomplish? Is it a hope that since the post is likely no longer monitored, they can post whatever they desire without consequences or is it they just conveniently miss the age of the conversation they are responding to? You have to give them credit though... It takes effort and much free time to read really old newsgroup postings and then choose to respond to them without much reason other than self-serving antagonistic desire. Well - no you don't - but seemingly that gives them purpose. A goal is a goal. I guess everyone needs a hobby. </inquisitive mode> -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
From: Uwe on 17 Dec 2008 20:48 FINALLY! After a year of being bugged by this, the fix (found through many, many hours of trial and error) is easy. Just delete the %temp%\OHotfix folder content just prior to Office 2003 SP3 update, and all worked well immediately. Now I am wondering why not a single MS-MVP ever stumbled across this, or cared to share, whichever it may be. With that I can finally kiss Good Bye to the extremely nagging hint that an update is available, through Windows Update, and through OneCare. I'll sleep better now, too.

None of these suggestions worked for me. It Office 2003 is still a supported application and Microsoft has no fix is there a way to simply get my money back for the cost of Office 2003?
