InfoPath Dev

My system is Windows 7-64 with Office 2010 64-bit version installed and running OK. I installed Office 2010 using the standard Setup routine and opted to install only Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook. After completing the installation I deleted the huge MSOCache folder the installation left behind on my boot drive because my C: is a 64GB SSD and I need all the free space on it I can get. Now I need to install InfoPath but cannot do it. I have the original Office 2010 CD but all of the Setup programs on it fail - including the one in the InfoPath folder. I downloaded the "trial" Office2010 Setup routine (15.7 MB) but that fails also. I tried "Change" from the Control Panel INstalled Programs list but that does nothing. Is there any way to get InfoPath installed without having to completely de-install Office 2010 and re-install it?

Hi Birk,

I'm guessing that deleting the MSOCache is the reason why you can't do it. If you have the CD/DVD, you should be able to insert it and run install/modify off of that to install just InfoPath.

Good luck!

Thanks, but your guess is wrong. I have the CD, and I have tried running Setup off it, and it fails. Deleting MSOCache is a fairly common thing to do and many people have been able to make changed to their Office installs without MSOCache on their hard drive. The problem is actually much more complex than that - I'm sure it has to do with registry conflicts. But (of course) there is no way to get any real info about what those might be, or how to fix them.
