Error 1919 On Setup - Keys Are Present

[Mike Marlow]

While installing Office 2000 I received the Error 1919. A little research
pointed me to the Microsoft KB from which I downloaded the checker utility
and the MDAC for my release.

Before running either the checker or the MDAC, I did verify that the two
suspect registry keys associated with this problem typically, were actually
in the registry. They are.

I ran the checker and it claims I am fine the way I am.

I ran the MDAC and it tells me the current release is installed.

Still - I get the Error 1919. Looking for some more good ideas...

Funny you should ask. Did some more research last night and discovered that
I probably had to install jet as well. Downloaded it and will try the
install today. Will post results. For such a common problem one would
think there might be a packaged solution to this error. It's really taken
quite a bit of research to discover the necessary steps. Then again, maybe
I just came at it from the wrong direction...

MS removed jet from the MIDAC update/install some time ago, not sure why
