Office 2003 XPEmbedded

I am having problems installing office 2003 onto an XP embedded operating
system. I understand the legal issue with using office on an embedded OS, we
are using an add-on to powerpoint called datapoint. It needs .net 2.0 and
powerpoint, not powerpoint viewer unfortunately, as such we will not be using
powerpoint to create presentations, but use it to display presentations with
the added datapoint functionality. We are currently getting ODBC errors
causing the powerpoint information to not connect and display properly:

"error 1919: error configuring ODBC data source:Excel files ODBC error 13.
Could not load the setup or translator library"

this error appears a couple of times substituting excel files with dBase
files and visual foxpro.

"Could not find installable ISAM"

Which seems to be a very generic error. Could anyone please advise on how
to fix these errors? Many thanks.

Did you build the image yourself, or is it pre-installed on a device?

It is on a pre-installed device. The annoying thing is, i've had this
working a couple of times before but I think the .net framework packages may
have changed somehow. I used to get errors when installing the .net
packages, but solved that and office went on no probs along with datapoint.

Kev,
Office needs a few support files that should be included in your image.
If you are working on a image made by a third part, you can't use Office
until they add the missing functions.
Tools for detecting missing files exist, like Dependency Walker and Process
Monitor.
If required files are added, Office run well on XPE.
Nope if you haven't full image build control.
