Office problems after upg from XP Home to XP Pro

[Tommy Vielkanowitz]

After upgrading from Windows XP Home edition to XP
Professional on one PC, I am having all sorts of Office
problems. Unless I am logged in as administrator, none of
the programs will run correctly, I get a Windows Installer
box, then a prompt asking for the CD. After inserting the
CD, I get Error 1402 Could not open key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Interface\{00067063-
0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStub Verify that you
have sufficient access to that key or contact your support
personnel.

I do have access to that key, I checked with regedt32, I
also looked at Knowledgebase articles 224097 and 236592 to
no avail.

Also, I was going to try to remove Office and reinstall.
I logged in as Administrator and tried to uninstall.
After going through the uninstall routine, Microsoft
Office was still in the add/remove programs list. When I
clicked on Change, it just had all the programs listed as
do not install (red X). Just for grins, I changed it to
install all to my computer, but I still get the error 1402
when I try to run any Office application as a user other
than administrator.

The user I am logged in as is a local administrator.

If anyone has any insights to this problem, please post
here or e-mail me at tvielkanowitz (at) shared-resources

Thanks
