Here is the base issue. I have tried to install Office 03 on my laptop that is running Vista home Premium. My account is the administrator account. The installation works fine untill it tries to edit the registry keys at which point I get :
Error 1402. Setup cannot open the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run\OptionalCo mponents\MSFS. Verify that you have suffencent permissions to access the registry or contact your Information Technology department for assistance.
Now things that I have tried.
1. Running the setup as administrator.
2. Tried changing type of install (i.e. typical, complete, etc.)
3. Tried to change the permissions for the registry keys as listed in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838687 and was told that I didn't have permission to view the current permissions much less change the permissions even while running regedit as the Admin.
4. After trying to change the permissions on that particular key, I tried to change the permissions on the :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. It let me change that one but still won't let me install.
5. Tried installing after a "clean boot". (no difference)
6. Threatened the computer with violence. (hey, it sometimes works.)
7. Searched for someone else as having listed the same problem. (didn't find anyone with exact or similar problem that wasn't resolved through the means I have tried above)
As the Administrator account running setup as administrator, which is the typical solve, should have resolved the problem, but it didn't. I am currently at a lose what to do next except possibly:
8. CRY
and then buy a copy of Office 07. (Not what I want to do.)
Please somebody give me some direction.
