Trying to install ONLY PP97 from CD using Custom
Installation and unchecking all but Powerpoint.

I get:

Setup Error 168 Updating Registry
MSOC.dll unable to register itself in sys. registry.

Fails to install. Installing on a Win XP machine with
Office 2000 Small Business currently installed.
Installing as adnministrator. I tried to install to
default directory as well as newly created folder. Also
disabled all other processes such as virus scan. I can't
find anything in the Knowledge Base at all for this
MSOC.dll. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Steve,

I don't believe you will be able to do this. Even though you are installing
"just PPT" it still installs a ton of support DLLs. I believe you will need
to remove Office SB, install PPT 97, and then reinstall Office SB.
