Wally's Answer: Error 2908 relates to a bunch of Microsoft Office 2003 products, and Microsoft Office OneNote 2007. Most likely, when you try to start, repair, or update one of these products, you get Error 2908 as you mentioned above. This error can apply to any one of the following Microsoft Office 2003 products: MS Office 2003, All Editions MS http://www.windowswally.com/how-to-fix-error-2908/ Office Word 2003 MS Office Excel 2003 MS Office PowerPoint 2003 MS Office OneNote 2003 MS Office OneNote 2007 MS Office FrontPage 2003 MS Office Outlook 2003 MS Office Project Professional 2003 MS Office Project Standard 2003 MS Office Publisher 2003 MS Office Visio Professional 2003 MS Office Visio Standard 2003 Some Variations of Error 2908 Internal Error 2908.

we got the following problem. If any of Add-in Express for Office and .NET product packages are installed, uninstalled and re-installed for the second time, the "Error 2908″ message is https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2007/11/12/windows-installer-error-2908/ shown a tremendous number of times. It is obvious that the message is shown http://www.office-forums.com/threads/error-2908.2253140/ for every file included into the package. What is worse, when the setup program is complete, you get this error again when you install or uninstall any MSI-based product. That is, from the common point of view, Windows becomes inoperable. Windows Installer Error Messages doesn't provide any useful info. If you google for "Error 2908″, you'll error 2908 find out that this error occurs for a number of applications. Workarounds exist for installing Office 2000 on Windows 98 or ME, NET Framework 1.1, Visual Studio 2005. But none of those workarounds worked for us. Then we found an interesting post on the www.eggheadcafe.com forum: they added Crystal Reports merge modules to their setup and got this error. This resulted in "reinstalling windows on computers affected with the error." What error 2908 an Microsoft suggested is "ask Business Objects company that produces the Crystal Report for assistance". As you may assume, Crystal Reports supporters sent poor devils back to Microsoft. However, we googled out some vague notes that the cause of this error may relate to the number of files included into the package. This was somehow backed up by Orca that reported the following incomprehensible warning message: "Feature ‘DefaultFeature' has XXXX components. This could cause problems on Win9X systems. You should try to have fewer than 817 components per feature." To verify this assumption, we created a simple setup with some 2000 files. Nevertheless, this setup program has run through the install/uninstall/install procedure successfully. But when we added a custom action (Install, Rollback, and Uninstall), we got Error 2098 again. Moreover, it turned out that install/uninstall is enough for breaking the Windows Installer down. Then we found that the number of files that does the trick lies between 1000 and 1022. We don't know if this number depends on the number of custom actions. This research forced us to decrease the number of Add-in Express files by moving demo projects to a ZIP archive. And in this way, we overpowered Error 2908. But this was not the end of the s
