I am trying to install Office 2003 on a new Windows XP machine. The installation gets almost to the end, and then starts rolling back the installation and removing backup files. The Microsoft Office 2003 Setup(0001)_Task(001).txt installation log looks normal up until this entry:
MSI (s) (78:D8) [12:45:40:926]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSIEA.tmp, Entrypoint: WriteRegistry2
WriteRegistry2: Error 0x80070103: failed to read action from custom action data
MSI (s) (78:04) [12:45:40:942]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=RollbackRegistryOnUninstall,,)
Action 12:45:40: RollbackRegistryOnUninstall.
After the program completes the rollback, the error signature I am prompted to send to Microsoft reads:
EventType:office11setup P1:{90110409-6000-11d3-8cfe-0150048383c9} P2:11.0.5614.0 P3:rollbackcleanup P4:0 P5:x P6:x P7:x
Has anybody else run into this? I’ve deleted the C:\Program Files\Office Folder, and all references to Office in the Registry, and run CCleaner, rebooted, then tried to reinstall with the same results. Suggestions?
