How do I cleanly abort an Office setup process?

I have a Win2k laptop here in Italy without its original Office CD: it
must be somewhere in Asia, prolly on some admin's shared CD drive,
guessing from the cached path.

I had attempted to change a setting which required the installation of
some additional Outlook facility. I thought I had the right Office
CD, so I tried to do the install.

Ouch! The CD was the wrong one (wrong version, language, whatever...)
and from then on the comp keeps asking for the diskette at every boot,
and every time Outlook is invoked.

I GUESS that there must be a "run once" key somewhere in the registry
which dictates the system to do this to me. Since the comp is far
from its home base support and I don't wan't to waste $ locally on
correcting this silliness, I'd rather not hack the reggie ad lib.

Is it true that the stipulation that "thou shalt a CD seek, the
install to complete" is in the registry?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
