Often times, Office/Access 2000 registry keys or various files might not get written
properly, leading to weird error messages when using an Office component. While some
issues can be resolved by registering individual DLLs, others may require you to
re-install Office. During a typical install process, MSI may not check registry keys or file
versions installed by a previous run. Note that there are a lot of files that get
written to folders other than the specified Office folder. To ensure that MSI checks
all these files and the appropriate registry keys, you can run the setup as
Setup /fmcue data1.msi
where the data1.msi file is the file containing the installation
instructions for MSI.
The individual setup flags can be described as follows:
|
Flag |

|
f |

m |

c |

|
u |
