I have office pro plus.  Don't know if he's running that or not.  But I'll
forward your response to him and see if that sheds any light.  Apparently
though, the solution to his problem is to get Version 6.  I don't know why,
or why I have version 6 and not version 2.

...the right question may be why you have a version 6 of the file?

...afaik the current version is 2.81.1132.0 ...a current win system repair
will probably automatically replace any attempt to install an older version
of it ...which is what it sounds like is happening to your client ...that
version should be found in your windows/servicepackfiles directory assuming
you are keeping your win updates/service packs current.

...I'd check your system first for current updates and then think about
repackaging your app with the current version to see if that fixes your
client's problem
