Error 1706

I'm using Office XP with SP3 + the latest patches. When I run any MS Office
product (Word/Excel etc), I get the following error:

Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files. Check your connection to
the network, or CD-ROM drive. For other potential solutions to this problem,
see C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10\1033\SETUP.HLP

I've read KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297834. It says
something about Administrative installation which I have never done. Office
XP (retail version) was installed manually from CD-ROM.

Things that I have done:
- uninstalled Office XP
- restarted the PC then reinstalled retail version of Office XP from CD-ROM
- I reapplied Office XP SP3 + the latest patches
- restarted the PC one last time

Problem is, I still get Error 1706 whenever I get into any Office product.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this problem?
