Problems installing 2003 proofing tools

[mcneill]

Hi,

I'm having a hard time installing MS Office 2003 Proofing tools and have
googled for an answer a couple of days without any luck. Every time I try
and install the proofing tools it stops midway with a error message that
says that the 'installation stopped premature because of an error.' I have
installed Office 2003 with all updates.

In the event veiwer I get this event:

This still a very frustrating problem.

What I've done so far is used "Windows installer clean up" on MS Office 2003
and installed it again. Then I have run a couple of registry cleanup tools
and a antivirus test. I've even deleted and regenerated a new profile. I've
also gone through the registry, Component Services, and files to see if
there could be a permission problem, but nope.

Please I would very much appreciate anything that can help.

Problem solved. Corrupt registry!
