how to make the Microsoft Office recognize a new location of MSOCa
I am with very little free space in the partition of the hard disk which owns
the operating system Windows XP. I moved the Microsoft Office Setup files
located in the MSOCache folder to another partition so that I could have some
more free space. What else should I do so that Microsoft Office knows that
the files are now located at another partition and not at the partition in
which it is installed?
Thank you very much in advance for all the attention given.

If you are using Office 2003, here is a Knowledge Base article that explains
MSOCache:
MSOCache should not be moved manually as you did. If possible, move the
MSOCache back to the partition where it was. Then download the Microsoft
tool to move MSOCache to where you want it. Your can download the tool from
here:
If you manually move it, the installation source isn't automatically
updated. You might try moving MSOCache back and then using the LISTool. If
that doesn't work then you may need to purge the Office installation entries
in the Registry and reinstall. Should this occur let us know and we can
provide another utility designed for this purpose.

Re: how to make the Microsoft Office recognize a new location of MSOCa
Hi Urizen,
If you're using Office 2007, the \MSOCache folder is set to be on the same drive that the MS Office products are installed to. You
can customize the installation location for Office Suites and for separate Office standalone apps. The Local Installation Source
(LIS) tool mentioned previously works only with Office 2003 series products.

Re: how to make the Microsoft Office recognize a new location of M
Hello Don,
Thank you very much for your helpful reply. In fact I had already cleaned
Office Setup Files from the Hard Disk Clean Up Utility and so it didn't work
to relocate the MSOCache folder again to it original location. So then, I
also had to perform Enable LIS. Now I already have all the Office Setup files
properly located at another partition. Did I do it right?
Thank you very much for all your support.

Hi Bob,
Thank you very much for your reply. The Office version that I am using is,

Thank you to aware me of the differences between Office 2003 and Office 2007.

Re: how to make the Microsoft Office recognize a new location of M
A way to determine if the new location is recognized is to use Add/Remove
for the Office installation and make a modification.. If you encounter an
error then you know if you need to take additional steps.

Re: how to make the Microsoft Office recognize a new location of M
Hi Beth Melton,
Unfortunatelly the new location of the MSOCache folder is not recognized by
Microsoft Office Setup. What further steps should I take so that Microsoft
Office Setup can be aware of the new location of the folder under question?
Thank you very much for all your helpful replies.

Re: how to make the Microsoft Office recognize a new location of M
Hi Beth!
Please can you tell me the link of the utility designed for the purpose of
purging the Office installation entries in the Registry and create new
correct ones as the operation of moving back the MSOCache folder using the
LISTool didn't work properly?
Thank you very much for your support, Beth.
Cheers,
Rui Nunes
