MS Office 2000 installation problems

[pieterdom]

I'm having trouble installing Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. I got my P3 1GHz Win Me PC from a German store, so a German version of Word, Outlook, etc. was pre-installed. I decided to buy a Dutch version of the MS Office 2000 (Professional)to replace it, so I uninstalled the German Office.

But after the installation I was UNABLE to run any program. These are the results of double-clicking each piece of software:

Outlook -> The Operation failed due to an installation problem. Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please reinstall.

Powerpoint -> Double-clicking results in... nothing!

Word -> Same here

Excell -> Again, nothing!

Access - "Can't Find Language DLL" (!)

Frontpage -> "Frontpg heeft een fout veroorzaakt in FRONTPG.EXE Frontpg wordt nu afgesloten." (Dutch version, remember).

Anyone know what's gone wrong or experienced the same problem? I've tried a friend's version of Microsoft Office 2000 PREMIUM (instead of Professional), but with the same unhappy end. So I guess it's something to do with my software configuration...

Oh yeah, I've tried installing/uninstalling for a couple of times now (using different options) and to make everything even worse, I can't even uninstall Office anymore. <sight> HELP ME! PLEASE!

Yikes!

Setup creates log files in your TEMP directory. Have a look at:

to help interpret whats going wrong and offer advice on how to fix a few (common) things. I suspect its a registry error and therefore something has got royally screwed up.
