SYMPTOMS
When you use the Custom Maintenance Wizard (CMW) to create a new product configuration (.cmw) file to modify the settings for Microsoft Office Excel 2003, the changes that you made are not retained. The changes that you made are only present the first time that you run Excel 2003 after you use the CMW.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The Microsoft Office 2003 Custom Maintenance Wizard permits you to update the installed feature set for a software product on users' computers. Initially the Custom Maintenance Wizard reads the Microsoft Windows Installer package (.msi file) and creates a new product configuration (.cmw) file. Later, the Custom Maintenance Wizard uses the .cmw file to update the installed feature set of the product that is installed on users' computers.
