Cannot Install Office 2007 on XP

[attal]

Hi all,

I am in deep trouble and I badly need your help.

I have just formatted my PC and installed Windows XP SP3. After this, I tried installing Office Enterprise 2007, but windows is generating an error each time. Initially I thought that there was something wrong with my installation CD. I then borrowed an Office Enterprise 2007 CD from a friend and tried installing and again, windows is generating the same error each time.

Please see the 2 pictures below for more details about the error generated:

I have formatted my PC and installed Windows XP SP3 a lot of times in the past and each time I installed Office Enterprise 2007, I did not face any problem at all!!

I am 100% sure that there is a solution to the problem but I am not knowledgeable and experienced enough to figure out what is wrong.

Could somebody please help me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I badly need to use Office on my PC as soon as possible.

Thanks for reading

Regards
Jean Luc

"Thankfully the resolution for this issue is relativity straight forward. All you need to do is download the file "fp4autl.dll" and copy it to the following location:

C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin\

It will probably be the only file in the folder and Windows may prompt you to confirm the change for the protected file."
