Microsoft has released a fix for Error 2203. This error occurs when users try to install or upgrade Office 2010. The fix is available as a download from the Microsoft website. Users who have already installed or upgraded to Office 2010 should install the update. ..
The Error
We ran into the following error while trying to add OneNote to a current install of Office Professional Plus 2010 32-bit on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate. It is actually a permissions error to the Temp folder and we need to give everyone access.
The Fix
First go into Services by typing services.msc into the Search box in the Start Menu and hit Enter.
Scroll down to Windows Installer and Stop the service…
Then restart it and close out of the Services window.
Now navigate to the Temp folder by typing %temp% into the Search box in the Start Menu and hit Enter.
The Temp folder will open…right-click an empty area in the folder and select Properties.
Select the Security tab and under the Group or user names box click on Edit.
The Permissions for Temp window appears…click the Add button.
Now type Everyone in the Objects Names box and click Check Names which will underline it as shown here then click OK.
Now under Permissions for Everyone click the box to give it Full control and click OK.
Now restart the Office application installation…
Success! In this instance OneNote was installed successfully without any errors.
