if you are seeing this 1402 error for install and uninstall, theremay be some corruption in your registry. If you were on XP, I would sayrun scanreg /fix to try and fix the registry,

Finally, do you have any other Acrobat products installed? I askbecause if Adobe Reader is uninstalled, and there are no other Acrobatproducts,

This Anti Virus Program (if you were downloading it From a web-site) ora Pop Window you may have just down loaded a Bot or Virus.

The first thing you should do to fix this error is - if you're using Windows 98 or 2000 - to use the 'registry checker' facility. This is done by loading up the "Run Console" with CTRL + R and then typing "registry checker". If the registry is intact then this will not be a problem. On later versions of Windows, you should use a 'registry cleaner' program to perform this task.

If you have XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should first download a registry cleaner from the Internet and let that scan your system. It will look for any registry errors on your PC and then fix them, which should fix the 1402 error in the process. To use one of these, you need to download a registry scanner program and then let it scan your PC. It will identify all the damaged parts of Windows and should fix them. And if one of these registry errors is causing the 1402 error then a quick restart after the registry scan should enable you to install Office or the program you wanted.

If that method did not work, you should try using a different user account, or creating a new user account, to install the program onto. It's often the case that user accounts will become corrupted for whatever reason, blocking access to the registry. This causes the 1402 error because it means that the program cannot access the files and settings it needs to create when it's being installed. You should try creating a new administrator account and then installing the program on that.

go to start.programs.run. type regedit in box. hit enter.

find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES. SOFTWARE.scroll down to microsoft office.delete.

DO NOT CONFUSE with microsoft windows or any other microsoft program.regedit is a volitile area you can mess up your os by deleting the wrong thing.

after this go to computer. cdrive program files and find microsoft office folder and delete. reboot pc when done.

good luck

Hai,

Error 1402 Could not open key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or
contact you support personnel.

They are using Windows XP Home edition. I fear that they
have one to many viruses/ spyware apps on the machine
already and it may just be time to re-install the OS, but
wanted to make sure this was not something that someone had
ran into before...

Thanks

use registry software to maintain registry ........ use ccleaner or some free registry software first

You'll need to reset the security settings. Go to this Microsoft page for step by step instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313222#appliesto

you must go into bios and make your cd-dvd drive first boot and it should install ok steve

Did you mean for MSI Installer (window Installer)??
First take all updates from Microsoft then it will be automatically install or repaired.
www.update.microsoft.com
Let me know clearly if you getting error in any application.

Mada, Are you asking if it is hard to install W98 or are you haveing problems? Its not too hard, however, W98 is no longer support my Microsoft which means no more updates. If this is not connected to the Internet that probably isn't a big deal for simple computing work. If you do expect to connect it to the Internet the lack of updates will put you at severe risk of compromise. If you are having some other difficulty please post the exact issue, problem or error message.
