Microsoft doesn't seem to test 'other than C:' installs too well. I think you should uninstall Office and try again.

I have Office XP installed on the secondary hard drive in my PC. I had downloaded the Service Pack 2 file, and finally got around to trying to update Office XP. When I tried to install this update through Control
Panel_Add/Remove Programs, the final message came back that the system could not find the expected nstallation. It seems that the system is not looking
past the C:\drive. Is there a way to interrupt this installation procedure or alter it to have the update look for a secondary or slave hard drive? Or am I going to have to uninstall Office XP and reinstall it on the boot drive?
