The Windows Installer is looking for a file that is missing or
corrupt. It can be caused by several things, but to correct it you
will need to zap the Windows Installer entry in the Registry and
reinstall Office.

Obtain the following utility and use it to remove only the reference
to Office. Once that is complete then you'll need to reinstall Office
to point the Windows Installer to your installation CD:
