Windows Installer/Norton antivirus 2005 problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

The following problem has just strated happening and I wonder if anyone can
help?

When I open Outlook (and sometimes word or excel) the following messages
occur:

1. Windows Installer - Preparing to install
2. Please wait while windows configures Norton Antivirus 2005
3. Norton Antivirus 2005 does not support the repair feature. Please
uninstall and reinstall.

What is it asking me to uninstall and reinstall? Office, Windows, Outlook,
Norton. Also how would i do any of these as they came pre-installed on the PC
so if I remove them, I haven't got any CD's to re-install with.

Thanks in anticipation-- Kevin

Thanks Guy. I have checked and all the Norton folders are in the program
files folder. Any other ideas anyone?

This is a Norton issue, but I would guess that you have "enabled" the
Norton Office plugin and it's not working. The Office groups recommend
disabling that plugin if that is the case. For more info, visit the
Norton support site/forum.
