When launching power point message box indicates "cannot find ppttools.dll. However the file is there? Have tried renaming file, re-installating, removing/re-installing file, renaming application/re-installing, removing(office clean)/ re-installing office 97 application. User profile problem already checked. What have I missed?

Verify that your registry contains the proper path to your ppttools.dll:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE Microsoft\Office\8.0\PowerPoint DLL Addins\PPTTOOLS

That should have a Path of
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\ppttools.dll

Sorry, the fix for this was to install office 2000 using the office97 cleaner/ereaser utlity first. Still had to search the registry for all instances of mso97*.*, there's a mso97.acl that will hang the cleaner. Office 2000 required that I rename the notes.ini file to solve for the "error 2343" installation stall.
