Hi People, My company uses Microsoft office 2003. I have this problem where one user recieves an error when he open MS Word. THe error states that he needs to run PRO11.MSI.

PRO11.MSI problems include application errors, missing files, and possible virus infection. PRO11.MSI is a type of MSI file associated with Applications Microsoft Office Family developed by Microsoft for the. Description: October 2003. Hi All, I am debugging an excel application and need help. Problem description: we are running office 2003, and when ever we open excel it prompts for installation source ( source is on the network drive ) and even though we point to the right source it doesnt accepts.

However this only happens when he is off the network. And even then if you choose cancel, word works fine, the only think you cannot do is select HELP on the toolbar. When he is on the network WORD can see the SMS server (original location of PRO11.MSI) and all is well. What i dont understand is why it continually needs to look for PRO11.MSI. At the moment the only way he can open word without getting this error is when I create a shortcut to winword.exe with the switch /a. I tried to m ake all word documents use this switch by modifying how word opens in file types, but the same switch doesnt prevent the error.

I have also deleted and recreated normal.dot, and am very confused. The obvious solution is try a reinstall, but a second person has complained of the same problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The PRO11.msi file is a setup file that gives Word (Office) setup information about the edition and features available to the edition (among other things). So, if Word is asking for it, then likely an advertised feature has been used (or requested).

Advertised features are the 'install on first run' features in setup. By hitting cancel, setup just doesn't install or offer the feature. However, it does remember that you requested the feature once so it will tirelessly ask you for it until the feature is installed. You can usually fix this problem in two ways (second way is like what chuckyh suggested - my preferred method also): 1. Browse to the location of the pro11.msi file in the dialog box. The error actually says something like, 'the feature you are trying to use is on a disk or other removable media.' You should be able to click browse, then select it (wherever it is), and Word should be happy from there on out.

Do a custom install installing all of the features for whatever applications you have. Biblioteka eskw dlya kompas v15 15. So, do a complete install for Word in this case. I recommend a complete install of Office Tools also.
