Engine, system error: -2147023836. Please open SETUP.CHM and look for

CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the following conditions are true:
Two people installed Office 2003 on the same computer.

the end of Setup, both people did not remove the files.
One of the two people removed Office 2003.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, start the Setup program for Office 2003. To do
this, follow these steps:
Insert the Microsoft Office 2003 CD in your CD drive or DVD drive.

file on the CD, and then double-click the file to start Setup.

prompts to exit Setup.
Note You do not have to complete the Setup program. Setup fixes the error
condition when it is first invoked.

Please let me know has this helped you...
