cannot repair or install office 2k on xp sp2

[George Hester]

Jelly Bean has an app that should show the serial number. It is in the
registry.

The fact that the Office Assistant needs repairing is a little suspect that
it doesn't just look tio the CD-ROM to fix it. It may be that the drive
location the installer is looking for may no longer be valid. See if you
can find out the CD-ROM drive that was used at Windows installation and that
the drive letter for the CD-ROM is still the same. That can be done by
looking at this key's value for SourcePath:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.

Why don't you do a Add\Remove on the Office product and just remove any
options that install the Office Assistants such as "ClipIt" and the others?
Do it with the Office CD in the drive.

Hi,

I suggest try to erase everything in respect of failed attempt. By
installing and re-installing, the system has clearly become unstable.
May I suggest read these two articles and use the tools provided by
Microsoft to erase the registry keys and then try to install again.
