My guess is you have differing english language versions than standard US Here are some hints to get you started. There is an an SP3 but it mostly security updates Office XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=85af7bfd-6f69-4289-8bd1-eb966bcdfb5e&displaylang=en Office XP Developer Edition Service Pack 1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a5272cd8-72b4-4a23-8c21-2d8569e102c0&DisplayLang=en Packaging Wizard Patch Office XP http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f0f245fd-184c-4125-afb7-3c48e2607f99&DisplayLang=en These patches above may fix Office Developers pack SP1 and wizard patch is supposed to fix this as a workaround you can set your regional settings on the target PC to US when installing. then boot, install package, boot, reset to original language, run package. When you create the installation package a file called setup.lst is created. There is a locale ID defined in here which I found to be 1033 (English - US). If you were to change this to English - UK Number: 2057 or what ever version of english you are using then it might work . Another way 1) Change the regional settings to English US. 2) Manually run "osp.msi" which is included in the runtime directory of the deployment cd. This effectively upgrades the users machine in the same way that the installation routine should. After the osp.msi file has installed, you can then run the setup routine again and the fault will not occur. SageKey scripts handles these problems, http://www.sagekey.com as it can get more complicated with installations with multilanguage packs with windows (allows US version of Windows to run Japanese which is different than Japanese Version of windows) and office.
