Why can't I install Office 2000 Premium on Windows XP?

[David Hankins]

I am running windows xp SP2. My old computer had windows 98 second edition in
which Office 2000 runs perfectly on and I have installed it again on my older
computer, so I know the disc is fine. It gets all the way to the end of the
installation on my XP computer than gives me an error saying MSIEXEC.EXE
error. Is this a known issue or is it something wrong my system?

There are a number of possible error messages related to MSIEXEC.EXE.
Since I can't see your screen from here, and since you can't be bothered
to quote all of the error message, maybe you can find something that

It's most likely a known SP2 error. I think I saw it about a month ago so
search the KB for post SP2 fixes.

Sorry about not giving the complete error messages, well when I try to
install Office 2000, it gives me an error msg containing MSIEXEC.EXE 7355
error. Now I am running windows XP Home and viewing the event viewer I get
this:
A provider, OffProv, has been registered in the WMI namespace, Root\MSAPPS,
but did not specify the HostingModel property. This provider will be run
using the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider
may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user
requests. Ensure that provider has been reviewed for security behavior and
update the HostingModel property of the provider registration to an account
with the least privileges possible for the required functionality.
I have narrowed it down to the fact that it's trying to install under a non
administrative account, with windows xp home, the steps to follow to bring up
the security tab are not there. Is there such a way to bring up the security
tab to change the priviledges on the c:\windows\installer directory? Thank
you very much for your time in helping with this matter.
