GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES WHEN I OPEN ANY OFFICE PROGRAM: - "THE SELECTED ASSISTANT IS NOT AVAILABLE. MICROSOFT CANNOT INSTALL THE NECESSARY FILES DUE TO WINDOWS INSTALLER ERROR 1605, THIS ACTION IS ONLY VALID FOR PRODUCTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY INSTALLED." WHEN I CLICK ON SELECT ASSISTANT THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS: - "THE ASSISTANT PREVIEWS ARE INCOMPLETE OR CORRUPT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY INSTALLING THEM?" WHEN I CLICK THE YES TAB THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE APPEARS: - "WINDOWS INSTALLER PREPARING TO INSTALL, PLEASE WAIT WHILST WINDOWS CONFIGURES MS OFFICE PREMIUM" THE ERROR MESSAGE CYCLE IS REPEATED EVERY TIME OFFICE ASSISTANT CHARACTER IS SELECTED. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP AS THESE ERROR MESSAGES ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY.
