ERROR_INSTALL_NOTUSED 1634 Component is not used on this machine

Asked By Martin Thompson 100 points N/A Posted on - 10/12/2012

ERROR_INSTALL_NOTUSED 1634 Component is not used on this machine.

Suddenly I cannot run any of my office 2003 applications. I tried to run Word, Publisher, Excel or PowerPoint, I get the following error:

"MS [office application Name] cannot install the necessary files due to windows installer error 1634.

Component not used on this computer"

Since the last time I have used Office on this computer, I have not installed any programs, updated any programs or exposed the computer to any of the Black Tuesday stuff.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

This problem has something to do with its registry some problems occurs like this due to improper shutdown of computer and restart while using this MS Office.

So the thing you need to do is use programs PCleaner and CCleaner they can help fix the registry anomalies or problems in the computer registry.

I encourage you to use new MS OFFICE versions they are good and friendly, easy to use software.

Thanks.
