1706 need PROPLUS.MSI file fix/patch to run xp pro

This Error 1702 problem can occur if all the following conditions are true:

• You originally installed Office from a network administrative installation.
• The network administrative installation is no longer available to you.
• You are trying to use an Office CD-ROM when you are prompted by the Windows Installer for an Office source location.
• You click Cancel when you are prompted to insert the CD.

Because the files in an administrative installation are uncompressed, and the files on an Office CD-ROM are compressed, the Windows Installer cannot resolve the differences between the two source types. The resolution to this problem depends on whether you can obtain access to a network administrative installation. Use the following methods, as appropriate to your situation.

If the original administrative installation from which you installed Office is not available, you can use a different administrative installation for the Office source file location. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type a command line similar to the following, and then click
   OK new network path\Setup.exe /fvm package name.msi
   where new network path is the full path to the alternative network administrative installation, and
   package name is the name of the Windows Installer .msi package on the root of this administrative installation (for example, Proplus.msi).
3. Click OK when the update is finished.

How to fix - Setup cannot find ProPlus.WW\ProPsWW2.cab

When you receive the error "Setup cannot find ProPlus.WW\ProPsWW2.cab" it might mean the MD5 checksum the install was expecting and the one on the actual file do not match. Here's how I fixed the issue.
First let me explain in simple terms what the MD5 is. MD5 is an algorithm that is used to verify data integrity. If anything in the file changes the MD5 will also change so it's a way for the program to check the integrity of the file.

The MD5 file is kept in the setup file of the proplus.ww folder. Open it with notepad and find the section that looks similar to the following **the numbers after "MD5 =" is what you need to be concerned with. Also remember that your numbers may differ. **

Next you will need to download and install an MD5 checker. I'll leave the process of how to use the MD5 to you to learn but it's pretty simple.

Next run the MD5 checker on the file/s that produce the errors during install. *there may be more than one*

Now there are 2 ways to work around this - If the MD5 on the checker did not match the MD5 in the file it probably means the file is corrupted so your best bet is to download the software again or get another disk.

Another less recommended way is to copy/paste the MD5 from the checker into the file (remember to make a backup of your setup file before) then save it and run the install again. This fools the installation process into verifying that your installation files are all OK.

Good luck!!

read this article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/locate-missing-msi-files-HA001118572.aspx

Try This:

1. Click Start and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type a command line similar to the following, and then click OK new network path\Setup.exe /fvm package name.msiwhere new network path is the full path to the alternative network administrative installation, and package name is the name of the Windows Installer .msi package on the root of this administrative installation (for example, Proplus.msi).
   
   
3. Click OK when the update is finished

An .msi file is a database of all the files, settings, and configuration information for the associated application. When you install Office on your computer, the .msi file is saved in a hidden folder. Without this file, Windows Installer cannot update your configuration, install optional features, or apply software updates. Office cannot be installed, repaired, or updated if the .msi file is not found.
Why is the .msi file missing? The most likely reason for Windows Installer to require the installation CD is because the saved version of the .msi file for Office has been inadvertently or deliberately deleted from your computer. It is also possible that the file is damaged or corrupted.
Occasionally, changing the drive letters associated with partitions on your hard disk can cause this problem to occur — such as changing drive C: to a different letter or moving the hard disk drive from one computer to another. Other possible causes are a damaged or corrupted hard disk or registry file.
What to do when prompted for a missing .msi file If you are prompted for the location of a missing .msi file, you must provide the original installation CD used to install Office on your computer.

1. Make sure that you have inserted your Office installation CD into the CD drive of your computer. If you installed Office from a network, browse to the network location from which you installed Office.
   
2. Click Retry.

In most cases, these steps should resolve the problem and Office can complete the installation and configuration of the needed component.
I don't have the installation CD
Without the installation CD — or for computers purchased from companies such as Dell, HP, Compaq, or Gateway — you need to provide a repair CD to reset the installation created for your computer by the manufacturer. For information on how to apply the repair or installation CDs, you might need to contact the support representatives of your computer supplier.
In many cases, the files that you need are compressed on the repair CD and must be run by using a special program provided by the computer manufacturer. In some cases, the computer manufacturers might have customized the .msi file or changed the file name.
In situations where you cannot obtain the installation CD, your options are the following:

• Continue with the existing installation of Office without updating. This is not recommended. Your documents and computer might become compromised from security threats.
• Remove the installation and reinstall Office by using another installation CD. Removing the previous installation may not be possible in severely damaged systems where the registry is corrupt.
• Run a repair CD provided by the computer manufacturer. For information on how to apply the repair CD, you might have to contact the computer manufacturer or consult the documentation provided with the computer.

If you do not know which version of Office you have installed, the name of the .msi file requested indicates the Office version you have. A table that correlates .msi files to Office versions is provided later in this article.
Office 2003, Office XP, and Office 2000 provide the Detect and Repair command. You can find the Detect and Repair command on the Help menu of almost all Office programs. Using this command corrects identifiable problems such as missing files, corrupt files, registry omissions, or damaged registry entries. It replaces the .msi file if it was deleted, damaged, or is the wrong version. Using the Detect and Repair command usually requires you to provide the installation CD for the version of Office currently installed on your computer.
How to prevent similar problems in the future To help avoid this problem in the future, use the following guidelines:

• Do not delete hidden folders or files from any drives on your computer.
• Do not move drives or change their disk identifier (for example, C: to D:).
• Install all needed applications as Run from My Computer instead of using Install on Demand (available from custom installation within Setup).
• Occasionally run the Windows Disk Defragment program to repair cross-linked files, recover lost clusters, and remap bad sectors on your hard disk. Any data present in a bad portion of the hard disk is usually lost and commonly associated with physical damage to the disk. This is most likely the result of high-vibration environments, such as the computer being struck, dropped, or kicked.

If you have Microsoft Windows XP as your operating system, consider using the System Restore option to restore your system to a previous configuration. Consult the Help and Support option of Windows XP for more information on System Restore.
Office 2003 .msi files If you do not know which version of Office you have installed, the name of the .msi file requested indicates the Office version you have. The following tables tell which .msi files go with which Office versions.
File name Description accessed.msi Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions mui.msi Microsoft Office 2003 Multilingual User Interface Pack (one for each language) muiwiz.msi Microsoft Office 2003 Multilingual User Interface Pack owc11.msi Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components prjmuicwz.msi Microsoft Office Project 2003 Multilingual User Interface Pack Wizard prjstde.msi Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003 pro11.msi Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 projproe.msi Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 ptk.msi Microsoft Office 2003 Proofing Tools sbe11.msi Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003 vismuiwz.msi Microsoft Office Visio 2003 Multilingual User Interface Pack Wizard visprolmxi.msi Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003 Office XP .msi files File name Description dao.msi Microsoft Data Access Object (DAO) lpk.msi Microsoft Office XP User Interface Pack (one for each language) lpkwiz.msi Microsoft Office XP User Interface Pack Wizard ork.msi Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit pro.msi Microsoft Office XP Professional Edition proplus.msi Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage Edition ptk.msi Microsoft Office XP Proofing Tool Kit pub.msi Microsoft Publisher 2002 sbe.msi Microsoft Office XP Small Business Edition std.msi Microsoft Office XP Standard stdedut.msi Microsoft Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers owc10.msi Microsoft Office XP Web Components Office 2000 .msi files File name Description data1.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Premium Edition (all Office products) data1.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition (similar to Premium but does not include Microsoft PhotoDraw) data1.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business Edition (includes Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Outlook) data1.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Standard Edition (includes Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Outlook) data2.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Disc 2 (includes Small Business Tools and Publisher) msowc.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Web Components orkdata.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit proofkit.msi Microsoft Office 2000 Proofing Toolkit Note In Office 2000, the file name data1.msi does not clearly identify which version of Office you have. In this case, you need to inventory the installation of Office programs on your computer by examining your Start menu entries or click Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel and scan through the list of entries to determine the version of Office that is installed.

Hi,

Office 2003, Office XP, and Office 2000 provide the Detect and Repair command. You can find the Detect and Repair command on the Help menu of almost all Office programs. Using this command corrects identifiable problems such as missing files, corrupt files, registry omissions, or damaged registry entries. It replaces the .msi file if it was deleted, damaged, or is the wrong version. Using the Detect and Repair command usually requires you to provide the installation CD for the version of Office currently installed on your computer.

I am wondering if you went to Help? And did you click the arrows to see more options? It is there you will see the Detect and Repair. Once you click on that, it should find and/or repair the missing file(s).

If that didn't work, you could always uninstall and reinstall MS Office.

Hope this helps

hi Error 1706 is a Microsoft error that is sometimes generated when you install a Windows package from some form of removable data. Examples of removable data would be a CD-ROM or a DVD. Typically, the exact text of Error 1706 will include the phrase "no valid source could be found."
One of the usual causes of this problem is that the Windows Installer or MSI file is not residing in the root folder of the media that is found on the removable data. This does not mean that the MSI file is not somewhere on the media -- just that it is not in the folder that your system is checking. While, in most cases, the Media Package Path would be altered to create a clear path to the MSI file.

thank you

if u had office installed it should be in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office folder.
also check this.
One user succeeded by renaming mso2002.dll to proplus.msi http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=4bafe39c4910c1204225d07010b53bea&showtopic=9804&st=10&#entry81250

Let me know what happens.

I need to download 'PROPLUS.MSI' in Microsoft Office XP Professional with Front Page, because it doesn't work recently.
