Installing Office XP 2002 Professional

[Larry]

When attempting to install Office XP 2002 Professional, I get the following
error: Error 1402. Setup cannot open the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\IMAIL.
Verify that you have sufficient permissions to access the registry or
Contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assistance. For
information about how to contact PSS...etc, etc.

I have never recieved an error of this kind before. The support site at
Microsoft is asking for a product ID #, but since it won't install properly,
I can't get to that information. Any idea why I would get such and error and
what the product ID # is for MS Office XP 2002 Professional?

You don't mention if you checked your permissions, or if you searched the
Microsoft Support Knowledgebase and tried these articles:

You receive an "Error 1402. Could not open key: <key name>. System error

This is usually related to user profiles in Windows 98 or ME.
