Error code 1706

I am randomly getting error 1706-No valid source could be found for product
Microsoft Office 2000 Disc 2. The Windows Installer can not continue.

I get this error upon start up and randomly no matter what I am doing. Very
frustrating!! I haven't even tried to use Microsoft Office in forever. Does
anyone know how to fix this??

Common issue - What happens is that Office isn't usually installed
with 100% of it's available components. A call to an uninstalled part
of Office triggers it to find/locate the setup software so it can install
the unavailable option.

To fix this you'll need to supply the 2nd Office disk or point it to a
disk location where the Office installer is located. Until the software
is provided the PC will continuously try to load/prompt you. Later
versions of Office place the installer in a folder called MSOCache so
it can load missing pieces without calling for the CD.

Unfortunately there isn't a simple solution to get this resolved.

A blanket troubleshooting guide so no one knows what YOU did to resolve

Oh, by the way and for the sake of others, microsoftprosupport.com is
NOT a Microsoft site (so it's possible patelnolan post is disguised
spam). That site hides behind GoDaddy's private registration service.
IANA demands that a responsible party be listed as the contact for every
domain registration, so some registrars will assume that responsibility
so the real registrants can hide. Hmm, now why would registrants want
to hide who they are?

From a reverse DNS lookup:
www.microsoftprosupport.com = 192.186.214.64
192.186.214.64 = ip-192-186-214-64.ip.secureserver.net

An IPwhois on that IP address shows it is allocated to GoDaddy's IP
pool. So the site is hosted at GoDaddy and the site owner is hiding
behind GoDaddy's private domain registration service. Microsoft doesn't
use GoDaddy as a webhoster. Individuals and small companies do that.

"Live Assist provides Chat Support, Remote technical support and E mail
support."

So the OP (patelnolan) linked to a web page where it is expected you
chat with the site operator(s). It isn't just a help page.

When you look at their web pages, especially their home page, they
really want you to think that you visited a Microsoft web site. Nope.
The "Live Assist" chatting popup on every one of their web pages is
quite annoying and obtrusive (obliterates part of the web page you want
to read, requiring you to keep closing it on visiting every web page).
They have another fake Microsoft site at www.microsoftliveassist.com.

Here is the ancient thread to which patelnolan replied:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/micr...I/D4dUEDwWbPoJ

So 5 years later patelnolan thinks the OP is still awaiting a response.
Fishing around trying to find something to generate traffic to a spammed
site is what spammers do: pretend to help but the real intent is to spam
the site and drum up some business. Too bad the page that patelnolan
cited is useless hinting as to what support you'll get from there. And
what was patelnolan's severely late response? To visit a web page that
provides no help at all at a site that he is spamming that hides its
domain registration and pretends to be a Microsoft site. Guess those
faux pas sites aren't generating enough revenue so patelnolan has to
drum up some business by spamming them here.

Too much info ;-) Did you look at the stupid troubleshooting guide?
Completely useless! As bad as those fake programs that say they found
problems on your computer... Internet is full of sh*t...
