I HAD INSTALLED OFFICE 2000 ON MY MACHINE
AND ACCIDENTLY I DELETE OFFICE 2000 FOLDER
FROM MY MACHINE. THEN THE NEXT TIME I RUN
SETUP FROM MY CD-ROM, I WANT TO INSTALL A
FRESH COPY OF OFFICE 2000 OTHERWISE
NORMALLY IT ASK FOR REPAIR OR REINSTALLATION
WHAT REGISTRY ENTERIES OR FOLDERS HAD TO BE DELETED SO THAT SETUP DOES NOT DETECT PREVIOUS INSTALLATION.

If you install any part of office 2000, you might have to reformat the hard drive to get a fresh install. I tried the same thing that you are, but was unsucessful without reformating the HD. If there is any slight bit of information or files related to 2000, it will only give you the reinstall and repair option. Good Luck

You must delete all the files that were installed on the previous installation, and it will take you a lot of time to do it. But here is something you can try: it worked on my computer. You will have to install another version of Office(eg, Office 97), and uninstall it. Then install your Office 2000. This solved my problem, but I do not know if you are able to do it. Anyway, hope this works, maozy.

you can do two things one is the most drastic - format and reinstall everything or you can go to this url: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q239/9/38.asp
OR
insert disk one of office2000 goto START then to FIND and select FILES OR FOLDERS
named: offcln9.exe
it should in the following directory \PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE
if you have any more questions i do have the entire regkey removal list that will allow a reinstall
