Fixing Error 1316 When You Upgraded Office 2000

 

If you attempted to upgrade your office suite to office 2000 SR-1 full product while you already have office installed, you may get below error:

 

Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file F:\data1.msi

 

You may receive this error message if the following issues are true:

  • The office suite you originally installed has contained Data1.msi on the root of the CD. This is the default file name used for the Office CD1 Windows Installer package.
  • You try to run the Office SR-1 Setup by using a Select CD.

 

Solution:

Actually the installation of office 2000 SR-1 does not need data1.msi.  There are a series of .msi and Setup files on the root, each one named according to the edition of Office to be installed. For example, if you want to install the Premium edition from the Select CD, you run Setupprm.exe, which uses Data1prm.msi.

 

If you are using the Select SR-1 CD to update your existing installation of Office, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.
  2. In the Open box, type Regedit and click OK.
  3. On the Edit menu, click Find.
  4. In the Find what box, type Data1.msi and then click Find Next.
  5. If the search result selects a string value called PackageName, continue with these steps. Otherwise, repeat steps 3-4.
  6. Double-click the PackageName string value.
  7. In the Value data box, type the name of the .msi package that you are using on the Office 2000 SR-1 Select CD, and then click OK. For example, if you are trying to install the Premium edition, typeData1prm.msi.
  8. The PackageName string value is part of the SourceList key. Select the Media key that is a subkey of the SourceList key.
  9. Double-click the 1 string value.
  10. In the Value data box, type Selo9cd01;1 and then click OK.
  11. On the Registry menu, click Exit.
  12. Run the appropriate Setup again from the Office 2000 SR-1 Select CD.

 

 It is also recommended that you install a registry fixer to clean the errors that caused the fail installation of office. If your office cannot open and give messsage of lacking any dll or file, it is possibly that the registry is corrupted.  If these errors are not fixed in time, there will be more serious problems come up in your computer.
