    Just installed SW Office Pro 2003 SP3. Error box says "Visual Basic for
    Applications failed to initialize, equations and macros will not run. Are
    you low on disk space?" (no). I click tho 'OK" button and the application
    window comes up, overlaid by another error pop-up. It says "Environment
    variable 'temp' msut be set to a temporary directory." I click OK and the
    app shuts down. In the registry, the temp directory key is set to '%temp%".

    Running Win2K pro with plenty of resources. Updated sytem with lateset VBA
    from MS. Have un-and re-installed a couple of times.

    Por favor, aiudame!! Any info appreciated!
    Grazie Mille

    This problem is most usually caused by installing SW while virus protection
    software is running. To fix the problem, SW has to be completely uninstalled
    (uninstall+clean the registry+reboot) and re-installed with any anti-virus
    software disabled.

    Hope this helps!

    Heikki;
    Many thanks my friend, you were correct. There were many MANY registry
    entries from previous install attempts. I thouroughly purged these items
    using VCom System Suite (highly reccommended tool!). Restarted, disabled
    virus protection, reinstalled, and, voila!
    I'm evaluating SW vs Inventor7 as a recent convert from Civil
    Engineering to Product Development. Two patents ready, time to make some
    molds. I look forward to corresponding with the group, especially if your
    excellent and prompt response is representative of the group as a whole.

    NO uninstall required; just disable anti-viral software

    To fix the problem, SW has to be completely uninstalled

    I believe it is, altough I am not a very active writer. This group is very
    good and definitely worth of following.
