SYMPTOMSWhen you run the Microsoft Office 97 Setup program, you may receive the following error message multiple times:
Setup Error 932 Object 6632 Your Setup files may be damaged. Try restarting the Setup program from where you originally ran it.Each time the error message is displayed, the Object value changes to one of the following:

Microsoft Office 97 Setup was not completed successfully. CAUSEThis problem will occur if Microsoft Office 97 Setup is using a setup table (.stf) file that was opened, edited, and saved improperly in Microsoft Excel. Note that it does not matter what version of Microsoft Excel you use to modify the .stf file; the problem has to do with the .stf file itself. For example, if you open Custom.stf in Microsoft Excel, make changes to it, and save it, you may receive these error messages when you use Custom.stf with Microsoft Office 97 Setup.
WORKAROUNDTo prevent this problem from occurring, you must perform extra steps. Please review both methods completely before proceeding with opening the file in Excel.
Method1
1. Open the .stf file. You can open the .stf file by following the steps in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: ARTICLE-ID: Q111248 TITLE : XL: Opening/Saving STF File in Excel May Cause Setup Errors 2. After the .stf file is open, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR to select the entire .stf file. Then, on the Data menu, point to Filter, and click AutoFilter. 3. In cell E1, click the arrow, and then click the value "AddRegData." 4. In cell F1, click the arrow and click Custom. In the Custom AutoFilter dialog box, set the following values Show rows where: F contains """" (four quotation marks) and click OK. 5. Select all visible cells in column F. 6. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In the Find What box, type a space, followed by a quotation mark ( "). In the Replace With box, type a quotation mark ("). Click Replace All. 7. Select all visible cells in column F. 8. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In the Find What box, type three quotation marks ("""). In the Replace With box, type two quotation marks (""). Click Replace All. 9. Select all visible cells in column F. 10. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In the Find What box, type two quotation marks (""). In the Replace With box, type a quotation mark ("). Click Replace All. 11. On the Data menu, point to Filter, and click AutoFilter.You can now make any changes you want to the .stf file. When you are done, be sure you save the .stf file as a tab-delimited text file, using the instructions shown in Microsoft Knowledge Base article mentioned in step 1. If you have already made changes to your .stf file and are receiving the error messages shown in the "Symptoms" section, you can repair your .stf file by following the steps shown in the "Workaround" section.
Method 2NOTE: Steps 1 - 10 only have to be made one time. If you want to make changes to the .stf file after using this method once, you can start with step 11.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATIONWhen you open an .stf in Microsoft Excel, the Text Import Wizard helps you convert the file (a very large text file) into a format that Microsoft Excel can display. The steps used to open an .stf in an earlier version of Microsoft Office must be altered slightly to work correctly with the setup table files for Microsoft Office 97. Because of this, using the incorrect steps to open, edit, and save the setup table file will result in a corrupted setup table file, and you will receive the error messages shown in the "Symptoms" section of this article when you run Microsoft Office 97 Setup.
