Note: If you use Internet Explorer to launch the Add Text/Links/Simple Tables tool, the Windows Installer may start and prompt you to insert a valid Office 2000 source. This event occurs when Office 2000 has been installed with the default setting for the HTML Source Editing feature, namely, Install on First Use. With this setting applied, calls to the DHTML Edit control by applications—such as SiteXpress— launch the Windows Installer, which attempts to perform an installation "on demand."
To resolve this issue, configure Office 2000 to set the HTML Source Editing feature to either Not Installed or Run from My Computer. For information on how to do this, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 304107:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304107
