June CTP: cannot install: Office 2003 Web Components
THe June CTP of Sql Server 2005 fails with this message:
Please insert the disk: Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components.
[Ok] [Cancel]
Of course:
(1) I already had Office 2003 web components installed, and had performed a re-installation just to make sure.
(2) Inserting my disk of Office 2003 Pro does not work.
(3) The dialog box does not let you browse on disk.
(4) I have no indication of what specific file it wants.
(5) Pressing OK just brings up the same dialog box.
(6) Pressing Cancel, and correctly navigating the prompts on putting back the sql server disk in the drive, installs sql server except the missing components.
I think the problem is that it won't let me go to the hard drive to find my office 2003 with sp1 installed, instead insisting on looking for the older office 2003 w/o sp1 in the cd drive. I'll try manually copying my office 2003 web component files to the cd and see if I can fool the installation routine into using them, or at least realizing I already have the correct files installed.
Thanks for your help.
