I've seen this problem solved by disabling the Windows 2000 installer. In fact, there are bugs in the installer that cause this.

It's an article that describes your problem and possible resolutions.

It states:

Windowsw 2000 installer is "fraught with bugs, one of which is its tendency to appear every time you start Office (or some other programs) and begin a reinstallation or reconfiguration process. All you'll see is the "Please Wait" screen, followed by a progress bar. The problem is related to the This feature will be installed when required option (sometimes called "Install on Demand"), used when installing some applications. In essense, Windows Installer starts to install a "feature" when it is needed, even though it may be already installed.

There are several solutions explained as well as additional links.

Good luck,
