I fumbled with this problem for quite some time without much success after reinstalling Windows XP on my eee PC. Then I found the solution at Ben Shoemate’s article. I’m directly quoting his contents here:
I am trying to install Office 2007 onto a clean install of Windows XP (on a friends eee PC – it is really a sweet little laptop.. anyway), I get the error above about protected files. Here is the solution. (This may have happened because in optimizing XP down, some files were deleted). 1. From Windows install disk goto E:\I386 folder and open open (Double click) on the FP40EXT.CAB file. It should open. (or – if you do not have the disk, find a working XP computer and go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\40\bin). 2. find fp4autl.dll in the list and copy it (ctrl-c) 3. go to c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin and paste it (ctrl-v) 4. Restart the 2007 office install

I visited multiple blogs except the audio quality for audio songs existing at this website is in fact superb.
When some one searches for his vital thing, therefore he/she wishes to be available that in detail, so that thing is maintained over here.
I’m ɑmazed, I have to admit. Ѕeldom do I come acrоss a bblog that’s equall ｅducаtive and amusing, andԁ witһout a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on thе head. The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’mvery happy I fⲟund thіs in my search for something relating to this.
