SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Office XP by using the Custom Install Wizard, the Office programs may not install as you expect.



CAUSE
Office XP uses Intelligent Setup to detect the installation state of your currently-installed features. When you configure the Office Custom Install Wizard to install or not install an Office program, the wizard may not perform as you expect. This occurs because Intelligent Setup is mirroring the current state of the same program from a previous Office installation.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, start Office XP Setup with the migration of feature state turned off:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Run.
 * 2) In the Open box type  \setup.exe NOFEATURESTATEMIGRATION=1 TRANSFORMS= \YourTransformFile.mst /l*v c:\OLXP.log, and then press ENTER, where   is the drive with the Office XP Setup files and   is the location of your Transform (.mst) file.
