Pub 2002 reinstall errors-PLEASE HELP ME!

[Faye Mooneyhan]

I was having trouble with fonts in Publisher 2002 so I
tried to reinstall. When I put the cd in an ran install I
get the following message:

Setup has detected that the Office System Pack
installation did not complete successfully.
Would you like setup to try to repair your install?

When I click Yes, a System Files Update error pops up:

This system does not require any system file updates to
run Microsoft Publisher 2002; the
System Files Update will not run on this computer.

When I click OK, it just closes the error.

I uninstalled and tried install, the same thing happens.

So I upgraded the Win98 pc to XP pro upgrade.

I got the same messages.

So I installed Office 2000 premium but Publisher 2000
will not open 2002 files. I cannot ask people running
2002 to save as 2000, that is not an option. Neither is
reformatting the drive.

How can I get rid of these messages and get Publisher
2002 back on this PC?

I am running WindowsXP Pro with MSOffice2000 Premium.
When I try to run the Publisher 2002 upgrade, I get the
two errors as follows:
Setup has detected that the Office System Pack
installation did not complete successfully.
Would you like setup to try to repair your install?

When I click Yes, a System Files Update error pops up:

This system does not require any system file updates to
run Microsoft Publisher 2002; the
System Files Update will not run on this computer.

I uninstalled Publisher from Office 2000 and the ran the
Publisher 2002 install. I get the same message.

Does anyone know how to get past this?
