Problem: Unable to Instal Office 2007 in Windows XP

This is about Microsoft Office 2007 Installation problem in Windows XP. 

After installing Windows XP to a Desktop Computer or laptop, sometimes there is a problem in installing Microsoft Office 2007. This problem usually occurs if Windows XP is installed not from CD-ROM, but from USB Flashdisk or other media other than CD-ROM and its brothers (CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and DVD). A message occurs during Office installation, telling that windows is unable to update some files and office installation stops afterward (the message says "The windows installer service cannot update one or more protected windows"). So we can not install Office 2007 in Windows XP in this case, and this is a simple solution to solve it.
  • Insert Windows XP CD Installation to Disk Drive or use Windows XP ISO file (open ISO file with any application such as Winrar)
  • Go to folder folder i386
  • Choose file FP40EXT.CAB and extract or open it using Winrar or other extractor apllication.
  • Choose file Fp4Autl.dll in FP40EXT.CAB and copy and paste it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\40\bin
Those are all steps required, after finishing those steps Microsoft Office 2007 installation will work without problem.
