..please check your diskette..yada yada.

Will prevent the installation of Microsoft Expression Web and other programs, which apparently do not play well with older Office versions. Here's what you do:

1) Uninstall office (not really necessary, but let's do it right)
2) do a search on your computer for msoxmlmf.dll or go to the folder mentioned in the error message and delete it or rename it msoxmlmf.old, msoxmlmf.stupid, whatever. You probably won't need it again, but it's a good idea not to do anything rash.
3) Install the program you need to use.
4) Reinstall Office.

Of course you can also probably just try to rename it, install the program, the name it back.

Note that the program refusing to install will most likely install its own version of the .dll.

Thank you Bill Gates and crew for another wasted afternoon.
