Installer Cleanup Utility problems

[Guest Griff]

Running XP Pro SP3 and Office SR-1 Premium. After installing then

 

uninstalling a buggy program, Office advised "This program must be installed

 

to run...etc." Initially I tried Add/Remove Programs-Change-Repair and

 

Re-install, but no change. The date of last use is reflected as 08/02/2008!

 

 

 

Then Installer warned "The patch package could not be opened...". After

 

reading kb and forum info, downloaded and installed Installer Cleanup Utility

 

msicuu2.exe. During installation the following errors occur:

 

 

 

Internal Error 2908. {121634B3-2F4A-11D3-ADA3-00C04F52DD52}

 

Internal Error 2908. {121634B5-2F4A-11D3-ADA3-00C04F52DD52}

 

Internal Error 2908. {BF1C5C32-2FC9-11D3-ADA3-00C04F52DD52}

 

Internal Error 2908. {121634B6-2F4A-11D3-ADA3-00C04F52DD52}

 

=== Logging stopped: 19/04/2010 14:50:47 ===

 

 

 

The installer ended with a "successful installation" and the utility was

 

placed in the Program items, but runs with the same errors in the log above.

 

 

 

Have also tried:

 

System Restore to a date before the problem - not achievable.

 

Using CCleaner to clear registry orphans.

 

Removing other user profiles, leaving only myself as comp admin.

 

Updating Installer to v4.5

 

De-registering and re-registering Installer msiexec.

 

Using services.msc to check Installer set to manual.

 

Running sfc /scannow with orig XP SP1a CD.

 

 

 

Nothing changes - so cannot use/uninstall/install Office.

 

Hope someone can help - please!

 

Thanks and regards
