Have you read through this one?

Sounds like your issue.  Is this Volume License?

No not a volume liense , just been looking through the above article , many options i've tried before. just tried installing word all by itself and it still bombs, also ran the wmi rebuild script before hand. What is stopping the install for heavens sake. Still getting the error attaching to ose.

Interesting indeed.

Can you find the Office setup log and post it?  Maybe there is something in there that may steer us in the right direction.

You might give this a shot too.

Microsoft fixit bombed as usual. Please find attached setup log

Sorry about delay, first upload disappeared !

Seeing as Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP, you really ought to be moving on...

Not on this trusty steed.

Problem seems to be when it gets to ProPlusrWW.msi. There appears to be files in use, then not in use, but by then it has failed.

Try clean booting, then disable AV completely and trying again.

Enable verbose logging this install so we have better logs.

This is the error that starts the rollback:

This sort of points to .NET as the problem.  Make sure XP is fully updated and see if you can get an Office install that includes at least SP1 to try again.

Although this article states issues with Windows App certification kits, there is some information there that may help.

You may be experiencing a path that is too long, so let's try something.  From your own profile, set the %temp% and %TMP% user variables to C:\Temp.  Create that folder first.  Make sure your profile's temp folder now uses this folder and try the installation again.

Slipstreamed 2010 office with office SP2 changed and checked tmp,temp , all ok. Still bombed !!!. Checked for .net errors and found 3.5 sp1 had failed a while back. re-installed and run setup again. attached is first run with out 3.5 reinstall
MSIda46c.zip

run after 3.5 re-install
MSI62564.zip

Open up Services.msc.  Stop Windows Management Instrumentation and set the startup to Manual.  Restart it and try the installation again.

ok i will in the morning , thanks it's 02.30 here.

Please email me at my alias here at gmail.  I will send you the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility if you don't have it.  You may be able to fix whatever seems to be blocking up the pipes.

Interesting,,, windows management instrumentation wouldn't start.. error 126 specified module could not be found.
I have during all these fun games, run the installer cleanup utility which bombed. Sorry couldn't see the gmail addr in your profile.

Brilliant, well done Netman

Following the technet blog, after the regsrv and mofcomp i tried a partial install of word and blow me down it worked. Fantastic
