If the problem persists, we can also try to check the
permissions of the registry keys:
=============
First, I suggest we check the related Registry permissions by
performing the steps below:
1. Click "Start", in the Search box, type
regedit" (without quotation marks) and click OK.
Note: In Windows XP, click "Start", and click
"Run". Type "regedit" (without quotation marks) and click
OK.
2. Right-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and choose Permission.
3. Please check if "Administrators" is listed in the
"Group and User" name list. If not, please click the "Add"
button and type "Administrators" in the open window and click
"OK" to add this group.
4. Highlight "Administrators" and check on "Full
Control" under "Accept".
5. Click the "Advanced" button and choose the
"Owner" tab.
6. Highlight the current user account in the list and mark the
check box before "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects".
7. Click OK to save changes and wait for Windows XP to transfer
the ownership of all the objects on the partition.
Note: if there is the warning information "Error: The
Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some
of its subkeys", it is normal. Please click "OK".
8. Click OK again to save the changes and exit the Properties
window.
Then, please repeat the steps above to check permissions for
this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Then, try to install the Office program again.
