Most users report problems installing Office 97 when Service Pack
2 for Windows XP is installed. You might try one of three
workarounds:
1. You could uninstall WinXP SP2, install Office 97 and
related service packs, and reinstall WinXP SP2. This method is
not possible if your version of WinXP comes with SP2 preinstalled.
2. You could leave WinXP SP2 intact, and do a custom
installation of Office 97 in which you set the Web Authoring
Tools (HTML) to "not available" in the setup options. Obviously
this method disables all of the web authoring tools in Office 97,
but there are other (arguably better) web authoring programs
available.
3. Start regedit. Navigate to the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi­crosoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Image
File Execution Options" key. Modify the two .ocx files whose
names start with HTMLm from .ocx to .old . Exit and reboot.
This method reportedly works for some people but not for others.
