In trying to fix/ re-install office I keep getting this
message. This is an XP machine. I found this reference
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;295823&Product=Off2kset regarding fixing this
situation but states it is not for XP. I see no options
for an XP machine. Any help much appreciated.
In another newsgroup, someone pointed me to this site:

http://www.computing.net/office/wwwboard/forum/1342.html

I have not yet tried the registry edit that is suggested there because it
involves deleting a number of "patches". I followed the "Find" procedure
suggested and found seven folders marked "Patches" as opposed to the three
found by the poster. Without a clearer identification of the origin of those
patches, I am nervous about changing the registry.
