Answer : office maintenance wizard run command

maintwiz.exe download by default in C:\Program Files\ORKTools\ToolBox\Tools\CIW and IEAK\Custom Installation Wizard folder

or download maintwiz.exe again and go to command prompt, where you save this .exe file and then run your command.


1.    Enter the following URL in your Web browser:

http://www.microsoft.com/offichttp://www.microsoft.com/office/orkarchive/2000ddl.htm#maintwize/ork/2000/appndx/toolbox.htm (http://www.microsoft.com/office/orkarchive/2000ddl.htm#maintwiz)

2.    Right-click the link for Maintwiz.exe.
3.    Click Save Target As in the shortcut menu.
4.    Select a download location in the Save As dialog box, and click Save.

Note The recommended download location is the C:\Program Files\ORKTools\ToolBox\Tools\CIW and IEAK\Custom Installation Wizard folder, but it is not a requirement.

5.    Repeat steps 2-5 for Maintwiz.hlp.


If you use start>run command then it try to run command its bydefault location, so if you save any exe file in c: drive it can not berun through start>run

you have to go to command prompt first then navigate to drive, folder where you save exe file.
