Office 2003 - Project does not install

[Corren]

I had to repair WinXP, which made me repair some programs, including MS Office 2003. MS Word, Excel, etc. got repaired/reinstalled, but Project 2003. At the beginning of the installation I get this message:
"...cannot be installed when another instance of .... is already present. ..... remove the previous instance using Add/Remove ... from the Control Panel."
The trouble is that it is not listed in the Control Panel.
Used RegClean, Norton WinDoctor to remove Project entries in the Registry, but the error keeps coming back..
How do I force the install of PP 2003?
Thank you.

You should NEVER use Regclean on a Windows XP installation - it is
unsupported and you will have problems getting support from Microsoft after
having used it.

So now I know and will remove it from my Desktop. I knew it was unsupported, it does not require any support, but it was designed by Microsoft people, so one could assume it will not harm the Registry.

But what do I do about the installation of MS Project? Is there a Registry entry I should add or remove, so that the installer will proceed, as it did will all the other Office Programs?

Thank you.
